Hostal Colonial Trujillo

trujillo, we´re in transit and stayed here one night. the bus ride here was a bumpy, dusty and hellish 10 hours of day time driving subject to road work, road work and more road work. night buses from now on!
we are heading to huaraz tonight and will do some short treks in the mountains maybe 3 days. not much to do here, it´s totally overcast and it´s just a big city so we´ve been just walking around and killing time.

the buildings are old and ancient and colonial though and are sup...

Hola amigos, We're here in Trujillo, the origin of the famous Trujillo beer (for all those beerlovers out there). Gian and I stayed in Mancora for about 1 week. This was out longest stop so far, but I'm glad we did it. We met a cool and unique bunch of people including the frenchies Etienne and Greg, the englishman Will, the irish Niall, etc etc (sorry for those I haven't mentioned, I still reckon that you're cool). We went through some good parties and some nasty hangovers (Will and Gian mig...

Trujillo is an excellent town where you can go on a day tour to visit two pre-Incan cities. We did this over two days, because we were pretty recked from so much bussing up and down the coast. We visited Chan Chan, once a large mud city built by the Chimu people. We also visited the Sun and the Moon pyramid, built by the Moche civilisation. This pyramid is still being excavated, but it was VERY impressive. Trujillo certainly will have an increased tourist trade in a few years once they finish...

En Trujillo y Chiclayo se encuentran algunas de los restos arqueológicos más impresionantes de Perú. Me refiero a los vestigios dejados por las culturas Moche y Chimú, además de otras más antiguas. Estas culturas realizaron diversas construcciones en barro, pirámides ceremoniales y ciudades completas de este material. Evidentemente la erosión ha dañado mucho estos templos, los que aicionalmete son de reciente data de descubrimiento, pero esto no ha sido impedimento para que los artículos recu...

stigli (svicarac pascal i ja) oko 7h u trujillo, grad oblaka. vrijeme je cijeli dan bilo ubitacno, oblacno ali toplo. cim smo stigli, rezervirali obilazak ruina Moche kulture (nikad cula za njih prije) te Chan Chan necega. Hodali smo od 11 do ca. 18h okolo i razgledavali dosadne ruine. U Chan Chanu su bile grupe skolske djece koji su na non stop pozdravljali na engleskom i smijali se. Grupa cura je dotrcala do plavuse iz moje grupe te stala kraj nje, natjecali se tko ce stati blize njoj, pres...

I partake of breakfast in the little café beside the hotel. It is S/. 7.00 (US$ 2.30) for a continental breakfast. A bit pricey by Peruvian standards, but the convenience outweighs the cost. Back in the 60s, I lived in Trujillo for six years. At nine on the dot, Gustavo turns up to take me around the city I remembered 40 years ago. I find Gustavo is extremely punctual, much to the desperation of his Peruvian friends, who are used to always turning up late. Gustavo is sometimes actually early...

April Tue. 21 We depart Miami at 11:30 pm . The aircraft is not full, and in a rare phenomenon for these days, I am able to bag a row of 4 seats, stretching out in pure luxury. Wed. 22 Arrival is right on time at (gulp) 4:10 am . Suzanne has arranged a transfer service to her aunt's house in San Borja, and the driver will drop me off at my mother-in-law Aida's house on the way. I arrive at their house at 5:30 and knock on the door. It is immediately opened by Aida's brother Telmo, who assures...

Desert costal town. Very colonial with lots of churches . Reasonabily good food and ceviche. Mar Picante had some nice spicy goodness. There was lots of polution and the extremely annoying honking cabs. Some nice ruins near by made a good day trip. The near by beach town Huanchaco wasn´t all that spectular or entertaining. All and all Trujillo was a nice town.
