Trujillo, Peru
Trujillo is one of Peru’s most important cities, with a population of about one million. Its economy is based mainly on sugar cane, artichokes and asparagus, which are grown and processed for export.
The city was founded by Diego de Almagro in December 1534, very close to the capital of the Chimú Kingdom. It was laid out in the Spanish tradition, as a grid with the main square at its center.
The first buildings showed Renaissance influence; however, the earthquake of February 14, 1619 destroyed much of the city, and its architecture was rebuilt in the Baroque style.
After Independence, the architecture changed once again and the city began to follow Neoclassical taste, with large windows of wrought and cast iron.
Just 5 kilometers south of Trujillo lie the Temples of the Sun and the Moon, the ancient capital of the Moche culture. Trujillo’s other historic symbol is Chan Chan, the largest adobe city in the world and capital of the Chimú Kingdom. It covers an area of 14 square kilometers, and only one of its 10 palaces is open to visitors.
Tours end on a high note at the fishing village of Huanchaco, where you can still see the delicate “Caballitos de Totora” reed boats used by local fishermen, heirs to this age-old, eco-friendly fishing tradition.
