Trujillo Hotels - Reviews and Rates

After managing to haggle the manager of Hotel Colonial down from 80 to 55 sol ($19 total) for an OK room, we were persuaded to take their Inca ruins tour, which turned out to be quite interesting. First on the agenda was huaca de la luna where saw 1,500+ year old murals with the original paint still clinging on to them. We also saw the area wher...

Chan Chan is a huge site near Trujillo. It covers 18 square kms and is the remains of a huge city built by the Chimu culture (existed at same time as Sican - still haven´t worked out if they are the same). The city was constructed of adobe bricks, which were then covered over and all kinds of motifs carved into the smooth surface, most of which ...

Day 2 at the beach and want a new hostel as ours is pretty horrid - and the window won´t shut! Good security! Alex and Michelle find a nicer hostel to more to, then its back to the beach! Somehow, Sven, a day behind us, manages to find us on the beach - i think its our fantastic panama hats! We didn't get round to surfing, just swimming in the s...

We got to Trujillo at 6 in the morning. As usual taxi men are waiting to give you the greatest deal so we hopped in and wanting to get out of the city, no offense to people living in trujillo but we needed a little change from the city scene, so towards the beach it was. There's a little town about 20 minutes outside of Trujillo called Huanchaco...

After a four hour bus ride, including two movies (The Queen and some other movie that I didn't know), we arrived WITH our luggage, in Trujillo. We found a hostel that supposedly had a kitchen, but after further investigation, they really didn't have much of a kitchen. There was no gas in the stovetop, so we couldn't actually cook anything... wel...

The night bus stopped at 6 am in Trujillo, Peru and surprise it was cool and overcast. Trujillo is the port of entry for surfers with 4 beaches in the immediate area touting big waves and constant swells. Not much is open at 6am but the bus station so we bought our tickets on the first ride out of town which would be at 9pm that night. Having a ...

Returning to Trujillo for a second round meant being adopted by Lorena´s lovely Aunt and cheekily getting some free meals and family for a short while. This also meant I had a bit of company for one of the most amazing ruins so far. Lorena along with her cousin Jenny and myself settled on the Sun and Moon Huacas for our first outing. These two c...

I have since managed to change my flight details and have an extra 2 weeks to do the Southern Cone Route of South America (Santiago to Buenos Aires to Rio De Janeiro)... I have 9 weeks to travel this route which will provide me with a lot more flexibility. I'm loving the travelling and have no burning desire to return to Australia at this time. ...

My first day in Trujillo was spent exploring the downtown streets and colonial architecture of the Plaza de Armas or main square. This is Peru's 3rd largest city and quite busy. This weekend promises to be fun because they are celebrating the first day of spring with a festival. Good timing on my part. I have since met up with Jakob from Germany...
