TRUJILLO
The 3rd biggest city in peru Trujillo is full of colourfull buildings and provides a good base to see many archaeological ruins, and the beach town of Huanchaco.
Traditionally used as body warmer for people with arthritis, this naked dog has a higher body temp. than average!
Chan Chan covers 20 km² and had a dense urban center of 6 km2. Chan Chan was constructed by the Chimor and was the largest Adobe city in the world (mud brick).
Trying some traditional Peruvian food in Huanchaco- Scallops with Parmesan and a potato like vegetable ( sorry cant rememer the name) with a cheesey dip.
Huaca del sol y la luna
HUARAZ
On our second day we decided to hike to the famous lake 69. The scenery was stunning and the photos don´t quite capture the beauty of the hike up.
After 3.5 -4 hours we were very happy to have reached the lake which is 4650m above sea level. Towards the end I was struggling with altitude sickness taking 10 steps at a time before resting again, I was looking forward to the descent during which I was sick twice! The best way to describe altitude sickness is, a migrane crossed with being drunk crossed with being very unfit and the worst hangover of your life
Steph needed a break on the way up
