Trujillo
Trujillo - The Plaza del Armas After 32 hours of driving flying and driving again we have arrived in Trujillo.
The first impressiong we got in Peru was Lime at night through the taxi windows on the way to the bus terminal. The sight was not plesent... The bus was a tourists bus and we slept from the moment we got on (before the bus even moved) to the moment it arrived to Trujillo.
Trujillo is a beautifull town. It still have the look of a spaniard collonyal town.
We took a guide and went to a tour to the historical sites around the city:
Huaca de la Luna and
Huaca del Sol - two temples in the shape of pyramides one to the Sun and one to the moon. These temples were built by the Moche culture.
The sun temple has not been escavetaed yet. The moon temple is under massive escavations since the early 90s. In the moon temple there are many marvelous frescos.
Huaca del Iris An earlly temple, actually kind of a huge alter with great 'tavlitim" on the walls.
Chan chan A huge mud city with many palaces and mud decorations.
After the archeological tour

Huaca de la Luna we have finished the day on the beach at Huanchaco which is a small fishermen's village near Trujillo.
