Introducing Huanchaco
This once tranquil fishing hamlet, 12km outside of Trujillo, woke up one morning to find itself a brightly highlighted paragraph on Peru’s Gringo Trail. Managing to retain much of its villagey appeal, Huanchaco has cottoned onto its own popularity and today is happy to dish up a long menu of sleeping and dining options to tourists. Come summertime, legions of local and foreign tourists descend on its lapping shores, and this fast-growing resort town makes a great alternative base for exploring the ruins surrounding Trujillo.
