My friend and I had a wonderful morning visiting the rescue shelter, meeting all the dogs, and walking with them! They are so loving and friendly! Ursula helped picked eight different dogs that we walked along the beach with. You can tell how appreciative they are of you and they are so excited to explore the grass and sand.

Huanchaco is a good place for a short walk, and practice the surf. The wave is good for beginners and the water is not that deep.So it's alright for people to practice.

Museo de Sitio de Chan Chan

Reviewed By MagicDawn

Yet another great museum in Trujillo. For me they have the perfect balance of quality exhibits, accompanied by succint information in English. The entry fee is part of the 10 soles ticket for 4 sites in Trujillo (Chan Chan, Arco Iris, Esmerelda). Really great museum where you can photograph everything. Allow 30 to 45 minutes... or an hour if this is your first museum in Trujillo.
