Trujillo, located on Peru's northwest coast, is a city steeped in history and culture.

Trujillo is situated on the northwestern coast of Peru, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It is the capital of the La Libertad Region and occupies a strategic location in the Moche River Valley. Surrounded by arid landscapes, Trujillo enjoys a coastal desert climate characterized by mild temperatures, with warm and dry conditions throughout much of the year.

Peruvian cuisine is a delightful blend of diverse flavors and influences, featuring iconic dishes such as ceviche (cured raw fish), lomo saltado (a Chinese-Peruvian stir-fry), aji de gallina (spicy chicken in yellow pepper sauce), and anticuchos (grilled skewers). Other highlights include papa a la huancaina (potatoes in spicy cheese sauce), rocoto relleno (stuffed spicy peppers), and causa (layered cold dish with mashed potatoes). Peruvian cuisine also incorporates quinoa, and Chifa (Chinese-Peruvian fusion). The use of indigenous ingredients and bold flavors makes Peruvian food a vibrant and celebrated culinary experience.
