Fortaleza Santa Bárbara de Trujillo
Often called El Castillo (the Castle), Fortaleza Santa Bárbara de Trujillo is a 17th-century Spanish fortress with a small museum containing pre-Columbian artifacts, religious relics, slave chains, Garífuna masks, and antique weaponry – each item a glimpse into the area’s history. The grounds have excellent views of the coast, several old cannons and a stone marker of the execution site of adventurer and would-be conqueror William Walker.

La Cascada de Río Negro
The short hike to La Cascada de Río Negro is a pleasant excursion. On the road into Trujillo, turn at the 'Mahogany & Cacao Reforestation & Research Facility' sign, circle behind the stadium and then turn right down a dead-end street. Veer right down a dirt road and through a gate; where the road bends rights, look for a small path with a water tube partially buried in the middle. Follow the path (and the tube) about 1km to the falls.

Beaches
Trujillo is best known for its attractive Beaches, with pale sand fronting a glassy, waveless ocean. Some of the best are near the airstrip, 1.5 km east along the beach from town. Several beachside open-air thatched-roof restaurant-bars provide shade, food and a cool drink for beachgoers, and keep the beaches clean.
