Trujillo, Peru 🇵🇪

Breakfast this morning is great, called an ‘American buffet’ just missing, bacon, pancakes, eggs, French toast…in fact anything American. It is an all you can eat usual Peruvian fare with good coffee, so I am still happy.  Today is 8 hours on a bus, heading north to Trujillo. 

Leaving the mountains of the Ancash region was a spectacularly curved road with great views.  Once we hit the coast it was pretty boring, with scenery that looked like we were driving through a sand quarry and felt like it too.  In Chambote the driver announced we had to get off for an hour to have lunch.  I use this time to book a couple of future buses, securing the last seat on one.  This is good news as I don’t have a plan B to meet my scheduled flight to Lima.

We arrive into Trujillo in the early evening and once I am safely checked in I head out to see the centre.  The Plaza de Armas is really beautiful, surrounded by colonial colourful buildings.  It has a real buzz to it as people meet up for the evening.  I find a great restaurant and enjoy steak followed by banana pancake which is all delicious.  I have been a bit hit and miss on proper meals with the hikes and my stomach appreciates tonight’s offering.
