The North Coast was the cradle of several pre-Inca cultures. The Chimú,
the builders of the massive fortified adobe city of Chan Chan, established
an empire which by the 15th century stretched as far south as modern Lima.
These renowned goldsmiths resisted the rise of the Incas until their besieged
capital fell to the armies of the Inca Tupac Yupanqui in 1470.
Today, the elegant colonial city of Trujillo stands as a testament to the European
empire which superseded those of pre-Columbian Peru. Founded in 1535 and named after
the birthplace of the conquistador Francisco Pizarro, it’s wooden-balconied
colonial mansions are well-preserved and its people revel in their Spanish traditions
of horsemanship, music and dance.
The climate of the North Coast is mild, and the region is nationally famous for its
fine seafood, surfer’s beaches and the excellent sport fishing that brought men like
Ernest Hemingway to Peru some fifty years ago.
