Huanchaco

Huanchaco is located about 15 minutes away from the archaeological site of Chan Chan, and about 30 minutes away by bus from Trujillo town centre. 

A sleepy beach town, it was not very crowded even on a Sunday.  Lots of seafood restaurant here, though menu does not seem to be very different across each restaurant.

The beaches are not very recommended for actual swimming due to the numerous small rocks near the shore as well as the big waves, though you will be able to spot many surfers trying to catch “the” wave.

There are also some totora-weed boats decorating the beach area, and on a couple of occasions, I even saw some people paddling in them!

Good for a day trip, or for those who wish to get away from the Trujillo centre crowd and noise, Huanchaco is a good alternative for accommodation option.
