Trujillo

We took a much more comfortable overnight bus from Mancora to Trujillo and arrived in Trujillo around 9.30am. Trujillo is the third largest city in Peru. The bus’ aircon was much better and so we able to sleep a lot better than the previous overnight bus.

We had an early checkin to the hostel and breakfast out with the group. We explored the main square and saw one of the more famous cathedrals in South America because it was built in 1666 (devils number). It has had some bad luck being reconstructed 3 times (due to earthquakes and other disasters).

We caught a local bus to Huanchaco beach in afternoon which is a well known surfing spot, although the water is quite dark with lots of rocks and sulfur from volcanic ash in the area. Quite different to Aussie beaches!

We tried a local snack which is fried sweet potato donuts in a fig sauce - very yummy!

We had another $4 two course meal (so good!) and then beers on the beach with our group for a few hours and watched the sunset. We went with most of our group to a night club along the beach for some cocktails and plenty of dancing!Leggi altro
