In Trujillo, spring is eternal. The sun always shines, illuminating even the most remote part of the capital of the department of La Libertad, cheering the friendly spirit of its people, who live proud of their cities of mud and built by the ancient Chimu and Moche adobe; its beautiful mansions inheritance from colonial times and its Marinera, the national dance of Peru, swirls of sensuality and gallantry that make love blossom. The charm of Trujillo goes beyond its colonial and pre-Hispanic past. In the Moche Valley is the citadel of Chan-Chan, capital of the Kingdom of the Great Chimu, considered the largest city in the world built of adobe (covering an area of over 20 square kilometers) and only comparable to the archaeological site of Teotihuacan in Mexico or the ancient cities of Egypt. No doubt to anyone visiting Trujillo, the City of Eternal Spring, this trip will be unforgettable.
