Trujillo it’s the third most populous city in Peru.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

El Libertador Hotel<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Casa Urquiaga<\/strong><\/p>\n

It presents the mixture of a colonial manor house and hacienda. It was built in the 16th century.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Trujillo is close to two major\u00a0archeological\u00a0sites of pre-Columbian monuments:\u00a0Chan Chan, the largest adobe city in the ancient world, designated a\u00a0World Heritage Site\u00a0by\u00a0UNESCO\u00a0in 1986; and the\u00a0temples of the Sun and Moon\u00a0(the largest\u00a0adobe\u00a0pyramid in Peru)<\/p>\n

Peruvian Inca Orchid Dog<\/strong><\/p>\n

This dog irradiate so much heat, some people there belief that when sick is very healthy to sleep with one of them next to you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Huaca El Drag\u00f3n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also called Huaca del Arco Iris, Chimu archeological center, located 4 km North of Trujillo. This Huaca, was a ritual temple, belongs to the citadel of Chan Chan. Built in adobe, currently restored, it is one of the best huacas in Peru.\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chan Chan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chan Chan was the capital of the Chim\u00fa Kingdom, reached its peak in the 15th century, shortly before the Incas fell under dominion. It is a city of mud.<\/p>\n

The archaeological site covers an area of approximately 20 square kilometers, being considered the largest\u00a0adobe\u00a0city on the\u00a0Americas\u00a0and the second on the world.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chan Chan is triangular, surrounded by 50\u201360-foot (15\u201318\u00a0m) walls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The walls are adobe brick covered with a smooth surface into which intricate designs are carved. The two styles of carving design include a realistic representation of subjects such as birds, fish, and small mammals, as well as a more graphic, stylized representation of the same subjects. The carvings at Chan Chan depict crabs, turtles, and nets for catching sea creatures (such as\u00a0Spondylus.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On 28 November 1986,\u00a0UNESCO\u00a0designated Chan Chan as a\u00a0World Heritage Site, as well as placed it on the List of World Heritage in Danger.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Originally the city relied on wells that were around 15 meters deep. To increase the farmland surrounding the city, a vast network of canals diverting water from the Moche river were created. Once these canals were in place, the city had the potential to grow substantially.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was definitely my favorite places to visit in my trip to Peru. Its an archeological site so amazing and is not very popular, so the amount of people was very small. The work that the government has done to try to conserve this is unbelievable.<\/p>\n
