Troubles again! In the morning Aart noticed that the parasite he had gotten in Puno was probably still there. Since La Paz he had been taking medication for it, but every time the medication ended, he felt a bit of fever. As long as he was taking pills, nothing happened, but as soon as he stopp…

For our last day we planned to do a city tour during the morning. We went to the Main Square, visited the Cathedral, small squares and some Colonial Houses.  The white balconies are a tradition in the Colonial Houses in Trujillo. The houses at the Main Square are colorful with Iron Balconies. …

On December 20, I arrived to Lima but I immediately bought myself a one way flight to Trujillo. I once again returned to my beautiful hometown of Trujillo. It was nice to be back, and to see my family once again. I took a nice breakfast at my grandmother's house, later went on my own to visit of my…

Trujillo is a drab Peruvian coastal city of about half a million. We were done over here for 20 dollars. Two guys, a greasy haired, buck-toothed Plug-a-like and his Penfoldian sidekick approach us in a bar, we get talking, chat about plans, Plug is off to Lon…

Time for a bit of culture for us again today. All day on 2 guided tours of the temples of Chan Chan, Dragon and Sun and Moon.   We started in the morning by going south (which was useful as it gave us on idea of how the hell to get out of town) into some random road (thinking – good thing …

Trujillo was a pleasant surprise. When we came into the bus station we were not impressed with the city at all but once in the center of the city it was quite nice. Trujillo was pretty expensive in general and crappy hostals were way over priced and shady located so we decided to spend a few e…

Old colonial city in the desert on the way to Equador. We got in to actually just stop over and change buses, still had time to look around a bit and see parts of the city center which is actually quite nice tranquil plenty of police is around to offer security amongst old colonial buildings with…

trujillo is located in the north of peru... almost all the year is summer... and Huanchaco (the beach, aprox 20 minutes by bus from trujillo) is very famous for surfing

Got up early today, I think we are making some progress! At least one of us is, the other had to be dragged out of bed because they were ¨tired¨! Went to the museum first which had some interesting displays explaining the different civilisations and how they came to be. For example, it wasn´t u…

Went to Trujillo, which is a couple of hundred k´s up the coast from Lima. The town itself is quaint if a little dull, however nearby are some large pre-Inca ruins - the Temple of the Sun & the Moon which supposedly has the biggest step pyramid in South America (though it mostly looked like a …

This is the Peru trip i was fortunate to go on! I traveled with 2 good friends: Jonathan and Andy. There was action, suspence, adventure...

The coach from Chachapoyas to Trujillo was the most comfortable yet and did manage to get some sleep but still knackered after our 3 overnight bus journey in 5 nights. After hitting the coast at Chiclayo, the scenery starting changing from arid desert to paddy fields and desert mountsins.  T…

 Not much to report on my last day in Trujillo.  I didn’t have the energy or the will to do more sightseeing so I just read and worked on my blog and went into town to buy a ticket for my overnight bus to Mancora in the north.  My original plan was to go to Chiclayo, just 3 hours n…
