Trujillo: Perhaps the prettiest city in all of Perú
Trujillo, about 9 hours’ drive north from Lima, is a beautiful colonial city right on the Pacific Ocean. Less than ¼ the distance to the equator as Miami, Trujillo is decidedly tropical.
With mostly narrow streets, lovely town squares, and colonial architecture everywhere you look, Trujillo is an overlooked gem with great weather.
There are no famous sights to be seen in Trujillo. Tourists mostly flock to Cusco for its proximity to Machu Picchu. Peruvians mostly go to Lima for the greater concentration of job opportunities.
So Trujillo remains a mid-sized city with a lot of everyday appeal. To see what I mean, check out the video and all the photos below.
