La Libertad
The City of Eternal Spring; is the
city where one of the most elegant
couple's dances in South America
was founded: the graceful Marinera
Norteña. The exquisite colonial
architecture of its capital city,
Trujillo, makes every corner a scene
worthy of a postcard.
The Trujillo experience is made
complete by beautiful beach resorts
like the quaint Huanchaco and local
fare bursting with the flavors of the
sea (Ceviche Peruano).
