Plaza San Martin är ansluten till Plaza Major med en gågata, vilket gör det bekvämt att besöka båda samma dag.
Plaza des Armas (also known as Plaza Mayor) in the center of the historic center of Trujillo, easily accessible by taxi and any number of public buses.
Plaza des Armas is popular among locals and tourists alike for strolling, people-watching, and relaxing. At night the buildings are bathed in romantic lights. Trujillo enjoys a subtropical desert climate, with a warm season (January to March), and a cooler season (June to November). Trujillo International Spring Festival takes place late September. One of Peru’s largest and most popular festivals, with horse shows, fashion shows, dance contests, and floats of flowers and beauty contestants.
On the southern side of Plaza de Armas, this striking royal blue colonial mansion offers a rare glimpse into Trujillo’s political and cultural history. Magnificently restored, the home is decorated with furniture from the 17th and 18th centuries, most notably, the desk of Simón Bolivar, the legendary leader who liberated much of Latin America from Spain. Don’t miss the collection of gold and ceramics from the Chimu and Moche empires, especially the gold Chavín necklaces.
