The city of eternal spring: “Trujillo”

Trujillo is the capital of the La Libertad, region in Peru, located near to the Pacific Ocean and was once the first city fecundated by Spanish conquerors in America. Trujillo is named “The city of eternal spring”, because all time it is sunniest and the temperature is about 22 °C. In early October is celebrated “The international spring festival”.

In my trip by Trujillo in 2006 visited many historical places around of Trujillo and Huanchaco beach, was really magic see in the cost: the “Totora horses” (legendary boat of the ancestral civilizations).

Moche and Chimu civilization were represented by old palaces and city, actually in studies by archaeologies and foundation. The most fantastic ruins of the Chimu were in my opinion Chan-chan. It is the world’s large city built of adobe and in this wall was recorder the activities Chimu. I like the representation the activities of fishing. In 1986 the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (U.N.E.S.C.O.) adhered this place as World Heritage Site.

Other wonderful places are represented by Moche civilizations, this ruins are Huacas of the sunny, of the moon and the witch. These places have many floors and now the archaeologies are studying each floor and describing different items. Only parts of the Huacas are open of public exhibitions. I was fascinated by the civilization Moche and Chimu.
