The 10 Best Cultural Tours in La Libertad Region, Peru

January 29, 2022 Tonie Szymanski

La Libertad (Spanish pronunciation: [la liβeɾˈtað]) is a region in northwestern Peru. Formerly it was known as the Department of La Libertad (Departamento de La Libertad). It is bordered by the Lambayeque, Cajamarca and Amazonas regions on the north, the San Martín Region on the east, the Ancash and Huánuco regions on the south and the Pacific Ocean on the west. Its capital is Trujillo, which is the nation's third biggest city. The region's main port is Salaverry, one of Peru's largest ports. The name of the region is Spanish for "freedom" or "liberty"; it was named in honor of the Intendencia of Trujillo's proclaiming independence from Spain in 1820 and fighting for that.

This is not far out of Trujillo and a must see if you are in the area. Go to the museum first to get the historical perspective and then enjoy this relatively new excavation. Many uncoverings to see.

The tickets we booked were non-refundable. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic we had to cancel our June 2020 trip and excursion with them. Upon our request, they offered a full refund immediately, without question. Very much appreciated. We look forward to travel via them in the future.

Nice tour, offered together in Spanish & English with separate guides. Our English tour guide Napo spoke perfect English, very informative. The tour covers a number of places ending with a stop along the ocean, and is reasonably priced for what is offered. I do recommend this tour.

We did a lot of tours when in South America, this one was really good! Julio was unbelievable, he asked about our interests and made recommendations to plan out our day. During the long day we frequently changed our plans as we learned more. Nothing was to much or too little, Julio did it all! He also knew the major (big bus) tour schedule so we planned to avoid crowds. His English skills were superb, as was his local knowledge. Being a world traveler, he had great insights on everything we saw - including a local festival with rare horses. For some temple sites, only local certified guides can do the tour, but Julio handpicked them too! Highly recommended!!! And, yes, we saw all the places in the photos in 1 day!

This is a dry area and the structures created by inhabitants of this area are amazing. However, they have been somewhat degraded by time and weather. Interesting to see but not up there with some other ruins -- say Machu Picchu.

Visiting Lima is always a rewarding experience! We booked an early evening visit to the awesome "Huaca Pucllana" inca ruins, rather impressive with the scenic lights on. Right after the visit, reservations were made at "Huaca Pucllana Dining Experience", a restaurant by the acclaimed Chef Marilú Madueño! No need to say we got a table almost in front of the main pyramid! What a feeling! We had a fantastic dinner, with courteous and kind service, a nice wine and Chef Marilú Madueño outstanding cuisine - Italian flavors and Peruvian touches. We loved the experience! Bon Appétit!
