Trujillo north of Lima is a little bit out of the beaten tourist track, but worth to see. It is a city of universities, shoes and yellow taxis. Beside the pretty centre there are a lot of historic sites around (Chan Chan, Huaca del Sol and Huaca de la Luna) and a good archaeological museum in the university. The city is about 600 km north of Lima, you can reach it by bus or by aeroplan.
Hotel: Portada del Sol, three blocs from the Plaza major. Nice and good price. Free internet. Unfortunately the hotel cannot be booked by internet. Address
Nice beach village: Huanchaco, best known for its Totora-boats (“caballitos”), another beach is in Buenos Aires, but better skip it. From Trujillo you can easily go by bus to the mountain region to the city Otuzco. In about 200 km distance is the beautiful city Cajamarca (here is the place where the Inca was captured and killed)
