Trujillo, first stop in Peru

To Janka´s disappointment, Peru is as dirty and full of garbage as Ecuador is. Really no difference.

Full of bus seats and tired from 20 hours ride, we call to Fernando, our next host. Fernando has 2 rooms ready for hosting and it is great. We got the chance to meet Phoebe and Rapha who arrived to Trujillo few hours after us. Soooo nice people who quickly became our good friends.

Next morning we had a very rich breakfast together and then take bus to Chan Chan. Ruins of old city, build up from sand and mud. Impressive and interesting piece of archaeology  We walked around for a while and admire what was left from this secret palace.

On the way to main road we spotted Phoebe and Rapha ;), all 4 of us heading to seaside village, Huanchaco. We had the chance to visit the most weirdest marine museum we have ever seen. Some fishes are dried and shrinked and others preserved in pots. It´s a case to “see it to believe it” =D

During the second day in Trujillo we had a long walk through city. Nothing really special, we have to say. The main square as some nice buildings and it`s the only part of the city that is without garbage. We watched  a very weird game where kids were having fun breaking glasses on the road and then cleaning the road and set garbage on fire, crazy minds....

Fernando, our host insisted in have the last dinner together, so Nuno and Rapha went to buy Chifa, Chinese meal for him and Janka and Phoebe got burgers for 4 of us. And we ate our dinner, drunk beer and for desert….. J ….. Fernando showed his treasure collection to us, more than 60 pieces “found” in tombs. 2 glass cabinets full of statues and pots from pre-Inca and Inca times. Amazing collection!! After all we had a good time in Trujillo but sure 2 days were enough. We had a good start in Peru and ready to explore more……
