Trujillo is a lively intersection of ancient culture and modern arts. See ancient ruins at the Chan Chan archaeological site and be awed by the Moche Huaca del Sol y la Luna (temples of the sun and moon.). The multicolored Tunnel of Wishes on the Paseo de Aguas is a fabulous place for people-watching. Locally brewed corn beer is worth a try. If you’re a nightlife lover, pace yourself—bars and clubs get going late, and then go all night.

This archaeological zone, an excellent example of pre-Colombian America, once served as the capital of the Chimu Kingdom, which reached the height of its power in the 15th century before falling under the Incas.
Ancient ruins uncovered in Peru and very interesting. Unfortunately the government does not have the money to carry on with the excavation of these sites but that have great value

The Moche Route follows the most important cultures that settled in Northern Peru between the years 100 and 900 A.D. Important archaeological finds, such as the discovery of the lavish tomb of the Lord of Sipan, the Lady of Cao mummy and the mural paintings in the El Brujo Archaeological Complex, display the splendour of one of the most creative and successful cultures of the pre-Hispanic world.
A fabulous archeological site in northern Peru that is exceptional in many ways. Excellent interpretive display boards throughout assist visitors with understanding the history and significance of this remarkable site. One could easily spend a day here.

The plaza is a great place to people-watch, sit, read, talk to people, meet puppies and watch dance performances. There are marble benches to sit on(no criss-cross sitting allowed). There are vendors who sell food, bubbles and toys. We watched a presentation of La Marinera folk dance and it was amazing! See it on IG: @flip_in_philly

This historic site outside of Trujillo, is still being documented and the range of items in the Museum are beautifully presented. The ancient Moche civilization was very sophisticated and a visit to the this excavation site and Museum with a guide provides an insight about a past world. I strongly recommend organizing to go with a guide to get a deeper understanding. The Lady of Cao is a well preserved mummy and she is displayed with many of the artifacts that were found in her burial place. I was transfixed by her and all that I saw. We spent about 1.5 hours between the site and the small museum. And a note that in the gift shop were some of the nicest T-shirts with Moshe motifs that were stylish and nicely fabricated. Worth checking out.

This Church have been totally restored to accommodate when the pope comes in a month and it is so beautiful. The paintings in the ceiling is breathtaking

The staff of the hotels where I stayed did not even know of the existence of this museum, and it was great. I suggest visiting before going to the archaeological sites, but you can also go afterwards and evaluate how much you learned. The museum gives a good overview of the history of Peru’s occupation, which is very useful as a background of your visit to the Trujillo area. The museum looks very much like a South-American public university museum (old, poor, in decay), but the collection is amazing and the curation is very well constructed. I saw pieces here that were way more impressive than most of the ones in the well-maintained Huaca museums
