Things to do in Trujillo, La Libertad Region: The Best Day Trips from

December 20, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

Trujillo is a lively intersection of ancient culture and modern arts. See ancient ruins at the Chan Chan archaeological site and be awed by the Moche Huaca del Sol y la Luna (temples of the sun and moon.). The multicolored Tunnel of Wishes on the Paseo de Aguas is a fabulous place for people-watching. Locally brewed corn beer is worth a try. If you’re a nightlife lover, pace yourself—bars and clubs get going late, and then go all night.

This is not far out of Trujillo and a must see if you are in the area. Go to the museum first to get the historical perspective and then enjoy this relatively new excavation. Many uncoverings to see.

Nice tour, offered together in Spanish & English with separate guides. Our English tour guide Napo spoke perfect English, very informative. The tour covers a number of places ending with a stop along the ocean, and is reasonably priced for what is offered. I do recommend this tour.

We did a lot of tours when in South America, this one was really good! Julio was unbelievable, he asked about our interests and made recommendations to plan out our day. During the long day we frequently changed our plans as we learned more. Nothing was to much or too little, Julio did it all! He also knew the major (big bus) tour schedule so we planned to avoid crowds. His English skills were superb, as was his local knowledge. Being a world traveler, he had great insights on everything we saw - including a local festival with rare horses. For some temple sites, only local certified guides can do the tour, but Julio handpicked them too! Highly recommended!!! And, yes, we saw all the places in the photos in 1 day!

We (my husband and I ) had an amazing time in the Galapagos Islands! We did this trip at the end of October 2020 after the stressful lockdown covid months, so we were looking forward to unwind and visit for the first time the enchanted islands as our vacation. The tours designed by Rebecca Adventure were perfect and customized to our taste and needs. We visited Santa Cruz and Isabela and it was perfect because there weren't many tourists at the time due to the pandemic. We were truly impressed with all the activities, the wildlife and the services provided by our tour guides. We got to see most of the land and marine fauna that we expected, including hammerhead sharks. It was without a doubt one of the most memorable trips of our lives. We highly recommend Rebecca Adventure as your tour agency for the Galapagos and Ecuador. Biosecurity measures were very well respected on the islands, so its safe to travel! If you're looking to come to Ecuador and the Galapagos this is the time, still less tourists, the wildlife is truly impressive and besides life is short, take risks and ENJOY IT!

We booked a 3 day private tour with Peru Tours. We told them what we wanted to see and they put together an itinerary that included a transfer from Trujillo to Chiclayo. We were very happy with our guide, Ever Paredes, he was informative, attentive, and spoke very good English.
