TrujilloTrujillo is a city in northwestern Peru. It is located on the lower Moche River, near its mouth on the Pacific Ocean. Trujillo is the capital of the La Libertad Region , and is the third-largest city in the country, behind Lima and Arequipa. In Trujillo, spring is eternal. The sunalways shines, filling even the most secluded corners of the capital of the department of La Libertad with light. This light brightens the spirit of an affable and cordial people, who live proud of their adobe citadels built by the Chimus and Mochicas; their stately mansions, heritage of colonial times and the beginnings of the Republic; and of the 'marinera', the national dance of Peru, a whirl of sensuality and gallantry from which love is born. more...
