Trujillo was the trial to escape the clouds of Lima and to see sun again! The trial to have sunny beaches! It did not work.
Exactly that weekend clouds arrived, and yes, i had similar impressions like in Lima. During my stay i visited the city, the “Zona Franca” (mercado artisanal and around – famous for leather, specially shoes), pre-inka ruins (chan chan) and the beach in Huannchaco (little village close to Trujillo).
Some recommandations: Be sure to be very early in the morning in Trujillo, there look for a tour to huaca de la lune y del sol, ruins there. It is much nicer than Chan Chan (what i have heard). Huannchaco is famous for the old styled fisher boats and for its ceviche. I got the recommendation for “Big Ben” restaurant, but i did not have time to go there.
În Trujillo once again i got to know crazy peruvians which invited me to beer, etc. We wanted to go to salsa bars because on that weekend there was a salsa festival there. Unfortunatly i spend the night bevore in the bus (8 hours of bus ride) and i fall 15 minutes before our meeting asleep. Pfff, i am getting old!
