Local knowledge for Trujillo
Where to stay
Budget travelers split between two bases: the historic center, within walking distance of the Plaza de Armas and Jirón Pizarro, where cheap lunch spots and minibus connections to Chan Chan are close at hand, and Huanchaco, the fishing village 12 km west where hostel prices tend to run lower and the pace is noticeably slower.
Getting around
- A combined entry ticket covers Chan Chan, the Huacas del Sol y de la Luna, and Huaca Arco Iris. Buy it at whichever site you visit first and you pay less than purchasing each entry separately.
- Combis between Trujillo center and Huanchaco run frequently and cost almost nothing. They are slower than a taxi but perfectly fine for daytime travel with a daypack.
- The Festival de la Primavera in the last week of September draws big crowds and hostel prices climb across the city. Arriving a week before or after gets you close to the energy without the peak-week premium.
When to go
Hostels are cheapest from November through July outside major holidays. Prices rise sharply during the Festival de la Primavera in late September and again around Semana Santa in March or April.
