1 day, 0 nights
I rolled into Trujillo just after sunrise and checked into a grungy little hostel room in the center of town. Felt fairly well rested after my ride on a luxurious Movil Tours bus. Almost like flying first class: the seats reclined most of the way and ...
Familie
... kann man das Haus auch nicht ohne Hilfe verlassen oder betreten, das heißt es ist IMMER jemand im Haus (meist Manuela). In Peru zieht man auch traditionell erst dann aus, wenn man selbst heiratet und eine Familie gründet! Hat einerseits mit den wirklich ...
Trujillu
in Trujillo (pronounced 'Trukhiyo') we stayed only 1 day, which is enough, basically . we stayed in a family guest house, which is entirely for Israelis. the son is in Israel, after a 'shirut' in Golany. we found a guide named Laora in there (we heard ...
Hot!

Trujillo
... , irgendwo einen netten Fleck am Strand zu finden und dort einige Zeit abzuhaengen und eventuell ein paar Wellen zu besurfen :). Trujillo ist die 3. groesste Stadt Perus, 30 Minuten entfernt liegt ein beliebter Strandort. Der hat uns aber nicht sonderlich ...
Bus ride and evening in Trujillo
... 30 minutes late and was the hottest 9.5 hours of our lives. It was cramped, smelly and overall a terrible experience. We got into Trujillo just before 1am and luckily found a nice cab driver to take us to a cheap hostel, where we crashed within 5 minutes ...

... leaving soon i thought i might do some speed posts about smaller topics so here we go this post: Traffic! okay traffic in trujillo is crazy there are ZERO stops very few and srupidly place traffic lights. there are many roundabouts that you must be ...
Visiting the old civilisations
Today was very interesting. Leaving our hostel early we went over to Chan Chan the old Chimor capital built around 800AD and lasted until the Incan invasion mid 1400. It is the biggest ruins in the world of an Adobe city, covering nearly 14km.sqd. Most ...

TRUJILLO
... were semi-cama and plenty of leg space. This was to be a 10hr journey to northern Perus main city, Trujillo. This company only services the north of Peru which is a pity really as we would have used them for the central and southern regions. The journey ...
Traveling to South America
Dear reader, It was amazing in Peru. I was able to make many friends and missionaries there. The reason that I went to Peru was to work in the Colegio Cristiano Elliot (the Elliot Christian School). I was working in the English department in the school. ...
Diverse Verkehrsmittel in Peru
... den Kreuzungen Knaeuel, die sich erstmal muehsam entwirren muessen, zum Teil kann das einige Zeit dauern. Die Strassen in Trujillo sind neuerdings sehr sehr schlecht= sie wurden neu gerichtet, aber es wurde ein Material verwendet, das nicht regentauglich ...
Elliot and Fleming Together Again
Trujillo was a familiar destination for us when we lived in Peru, especially after 1988 when the Osorios and Bert and Colleen Elliot moved here and saw a new assembly started. A short-term Bible school was held here and Jim often taught at it and we ...
Despedida
Revue passierend ne schöne, aber am Ende dann wieder sauschnell vergangene Zeit! Medizinisch nicht sonderlich viel gelernt, aber menschlich mal wieder ordentlich weitergebildet! :-) Grad find ichs doch was schade zu fahren, aber es gab ja auch genug ...
Northern Peru is Desert Country
... no you are in peru. Sand Dunes and Sand covered mountains all along the way. Several quite big citys on the way to Trujillo, a place where there is a Ruin of some anchiant times. (can tell, i am expert!). Nothing really to mention except trully ...
Huacas, more huacas y Chan Chan!
... ooze and ooze until I recapped them! When I came to sea level, everything was puckered up like fish lips. Overall I´d say Trujillo was a worthwhile short visit, but I´m ready to move on. Tomorrow I have a 4pm bus to Chachapoyas, which is in the ...
Chan Chan and the Beach
Day 27 We arrived in Trujillo around 6 am and was hoping to catch a bus directly to Mancora because one of the bus companies advertised a bus leaving at 8 am. However, they had cancelled this route for the day we were there. So we found ...
Getting to know the origins of Peru
... hungry and we also had to face -again, second time in three days- a night bus to Lima, the capital of Peru. A good meal back in Trujillo was the last activity for the day...Back to the hotel, using public transportation was however the highlight of the ...
A Break From the Big City
One of the places I hadn't had time to visit when I was in Peru in May was the colonial city of Trujillo. The main reason tourists go there is to visit the archeological sites of Chan Chan and the Huaca del Luna Y Sol...time to go see them! There ...
First impressions of volunteering
Am now in Trujillo, after a tedious 9-hour bus ride through arid desert yesterday. I'm sharing a reasonably nice flat with 5 other volunteers: 2 Irish girls, an English girl and a cute young American couple called Carter (boy) and Blaire (girl). I love it ...
Trujillo
Trujillo itself doesn't offer much but there is a lot nearby. Historic section takes half a day. Almost no gringos (a plus). Meet 3 local musicians in main square in early evening. Great insight into local life. Buy a bottle of Pisco, peruvian hard ...
Visiting Chan Chan and Huanchaco
Today we got up around 8.30am or so, had breakfast (Abrahan, Eva, and me), and then Eva and I took a bus out to Chan Chan (1 Sol, about 20 or 25 minutes of out town). It was a bus (and not a smaller, yuckier combi) so we were pretty comfortable and ...
El Norte
Hi all, As promised, I am writing from Trujillo, in the north of Peru. I´m glad (and somewhat surprised) to report that both I and my bags made the very quick layover in Lima! But there was a little drama. I repacked my big backpack this morning ...
Ruins of the Pre-Incas
We visited the city of Trujillo as there are numerous pre-Inca ruins near-by as we both felt it was important to see more than just the typical Inca ruins. We visited Huacas del Sol and del la Luna, two hugh and fascinating Moche pyramids made from ...
Trapped in Trujillo
... listed on the Lonely Planet but never mind, we got there! We asked where the cinema was and were directed there and received a free Trujillo postcard for taking the time to visit them - lovely! We thought the cinema would be a good way to pass the time ...
