Our guide yesterday had told me how the site is still used today by Witch Doctors from Peru Ecuador and Columbia to perform shamanic rituals. In the past witch doctors went to the pyramid to boos http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/La-Libertad/Trujillo/blog-784978.html Hello people Long time no write I know. Well I have a few days of holiday before starting my next job so I am taking advantage of the time to update you So the quick version Ive been in Trujillo or TrutruJIlo as they say on the radio northern Peru for the last two months volunteering as an English teacher at an ngo in a poor part of the city.

It was organized by a local health clinic with both doctor and nurse participants. We packed up the medical supplies and medicine and set off to a remote area of La Moche a town outside of Trujillo. Our arrival was immediately ensued by a line formation outside of our worksite. The worksite was a oneroom schoolhouse.ltspangtltspangt For the chil http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/La-Libertad/Trujillo/blog-747035.html One of the many things that has been an adjustment is the transportation in Peru. Where to start... Public transportation is a choice between micros buses combis public vans mototaxis carriages attached to motorcycles and taxis depending on your location.

When we came to Huanchaco we were looking for a sleepy little beach town and that39s just what we found. Most days are taken up with a little bit of work on the computer a little bit of almuerzo and a little bit of time in the sun. Not bad but not very exciting subje http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/La-Libertad/Huanchaco/blog-729139.html The busses here are an experience that39s for sure. I don39t mean the busses to get from one city to the next but the ones within a city. I39ve only taken them a few times and every time I39m enormously proud of myself. Somehow I always end up on these little busses which may be called collectivos.. half the time it seems they are called that the other half a collectivo is seeming http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/La-Libertad/Huanchaco/blog-715430.html Last night I arrived in my tropical paradise. I39ve been waiting all trip to get here. Ya I know I39ve only been travelling two weeks but still.. this is what I39ve been waiting for. So last night I arrived and set up my new tent thanks Scott for the first time in the dark. No problem. Then I set up my hammock for the first time ever with a little help from a new Swedish friend who http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/La-Libertad/Huanchaco/blog-714544.html Once again its been a while since the last installment of our South American adventures. Postborder crossing and robbery we settled into our new beachside apartment. It doesnt take long to get to know the town of Huanchaco. There was a moviethemed Carnaval parade that didn39t take place on Mardi Gras but on the following weekend. But weve basically been enjoying quiet days and nig http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/La-Libertad/Huanchaco/blog-703277.html With more and more dating sites offering similar dating features online the competition is getting intense amongst online dating service providers.

To get to the North Coast of Peru the quickest way is to cross at the coast... however this crossing is notable for its sketchiness. So we decided to cross into Peru at the mountain crossing near Macara for caution39s sake in literature this would be called foreshadowing. This also ga http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/La-Libertad/Huanchaco/blog-684522.html From Lima we are heading up the coast north towards Ecuador and our first stop was Huanchaco a small fishing village turned surfer paradise. We boarded a semi cama nightbus in Lima to go to Trujillo and arrived in the early morning and caught a bus to Huancaco which is 12km away. The word bus is maybe a bit of an overstatement the vehicle looked a little welted together was shaking and rat http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/La-Libertad/Huanchaco/blog-668829.html and here is that afore mentioned instalment.Your correspondent arrived here via a bus and an article read in the Peruvian press by W.

The article was not without accuracy.There are two main attractions here one being Chan Chan the other being Huaca de Luna.

Trotzdem fahren wir gleich weiter nach Huanchaco. Huanchaco ist nur 20 Autominuten von Trujillo entfernt ist viel kleiner und liegt direkt am Meer. Wir bevorzugen diesen kleineren und ruhigeren Ort um von hier aus die Chan Chan Ruinen zu besichtigen.Bei Dunkelheit erscheint uns Huanchaco ausgestorben und unfreundlich http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/La-Libertad/Huanchaco/blog-506021.html I thought I would leave Trujillo in its own little blog entry rather than combine it with Huanchaco as they are both such different places and the Santa Cruz trek was a long old read before thatSo we arrived at Casa Suiza which is a really nice sociable hostel with a cool little roof terrace. We checkedin dumped our backpacks in our dorm and swiftly changed into bikinis well not James obv http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/La-Libertad/Huanchaco/blog-488723.html After a night bus from Lima I arrived in the city of Trujillo Perus third city and the capital of the north. 12km north west of the city centre is the small fishing village of Huanchaco and as this is where all the budget accommodation is located I decided to stay here. The village itself is very nice with clean sandy beaches and a pier stretching into the pacific but away from the sea http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Peru/La-Libertad/Trujillo/blog-488459.html Nu har jeg lyst til at skrive en lang mail.

Literally most of Peru's coast is desert and while at first it's quite stunning after awhile I found myself longing for palm trees.
