Hostal Colonial (Av. España stop) → Huanchaco beach
💡 Look for 'Huanchaco' painted on the side of the combi. Sit window-side for quick views of the reed boats. Get off at the end of the line, just past the surf breaks. The ride can be bumpy.
Hostal Colonial (Av. España stop) → Chan Chan archaeological site (main entrance)
💡 Flag down any bus with a 'Chan Chan' sign on the windshield—the route runs along Avenida España. Get ready to hop off as you see the Chan Chan entrance wall. Carry small coins.

Top Attractions in Trujillo
💡 Check their social media or ask the guard about temporary exhibitions — they often host free photography shows or workshops on traditional crafts. It's also a quiet place to sit in the courtyard with free wifi, so useful for a mid-tour break.
💡 Visit on Sunday morning when the square becomes a pedestrian zone with crafts stalls and free dance performances from local folklore groups. The cathedral is worth a quick look inside around 10am before mass starts.
💡 The museum is small so you can cover it in 45 minutes. Check if there's a temporary exhibition on the ground floor — they often have contemporary Andean art which most tourists miss. No English labels but the staff can give a quick verbal summary if it's quiet.
💡 Visit early morning to avoid the coastal sun and dust. Bring a hat and water. The site covers a huge area; focus on the main complex rather than walking all outer walls.
💡 Wear sturdy shoes; you'll climb steep ramps. The tour is mandatory and lasts about 90 minutes — worth it because guides explain the iconography and stories behind each mural. Book a morning slot for less heat and smaller groups.
