Sightseeing Tour of Trujillo and the Chan Chan Ruins |
|
|
Spanish architecture meets Chimu motifs on a tour that explores Peru’s intriguing cultural fusions.
| Overview | |
|
Symbolizing the essence of Peru, Trujillo is a concoction of pre-Hispanic culture and colonial tradition. Colourful architecture in shades of red, orange and yellow will put a spring in your step as you explore this charming city, also called City of Eternal Spring. The Plaza de Armas (main square) is flanked by colonial mansions and the impressive Cathedral. The San Francisco Church is considered by some to be the greatest architectural complex of its kind in Latin America. It is made up of the church and the convent of San Francisco, as well as of the chapels of the Solitude and the Miracle. Delight in the unusual pieces like the whistling pots of the Casinelli Museum. The real highlight, though, is a visit to Chan Chan, the largest pre-Hispanic mud site in the world, capital of the ancient Chimu kingdom and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the best-preserved Tschudi citadel, see friezes depicting marine animals and fishing motifs. With a blend of heritage and 21st century modernity, this tour will leave you intrigued with Peru’s fascinating fusions.
