Top 10 Museums in Trujillo, La Libertad Region

September 8, 2021 Myesha Cogley

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.

Complejo Arqueologico El Brujo - Museo Cao

Reviewed By 792fernandak - Savannah, United States

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.

Museo de Arqueologia de la Universidad Nacional de Trujillo

Reviewed By LuisaV18 - Bogota, Colombia

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
