Trujillo & Chiclayo

Visit Trujillo & Chiclayo

Trujillo:
Trujillo, the capital of La Libertad department, is the third-largest city in Peru. The Moche and Chimu, two pre-Inca cultures, had great influence in this area. Specially the Moche culture left a great architectural legacy as an expression of art, power and prestige of one of the biggest cultural developments of ancient Peru, comparable with the great civilizations of the world.(200-800 AD).
The city itself has an attractive colonial city centre and around town there are some very interesting archaeological sites such as the Chimu mud-city of Chan Chan, a monumental adobe complex of royal palaces covering more than 52 sq. km (20 sq. miles).

Also it is fascinating to visit the Temples of the Moon and Sun (Huacas del Sol y de la Luna), built by the Moche culture around A.D. 500. The beaches of Huanchaco, half an hour’s drive from Trujillo, are ideal for a spot of relaxation. Local fishermen still catch fish here with reed boats (totora), just as they did long, long ago. Also a visit to “El Brujo complex” and the “Museum of lady of Cao” is a “must” in your visit to this area; both sites are testimony of the greatness of the Moche culture.

Chiclayo:
The city of Chiclayo itself may not have much to offer, but the region is most well

known for their archaeological sites and treasures, such as Sipan, Túcume, Batán Grande and Huaca Rajada.

A vist to the Sipan Lord museum, consider by some archaeologists one of the most important archaeological discoveries in South America in the last 30 years, as the main tomb was found intact and untouched by thieves.

By 2007, fourteen tombs had been located and identified at Huaca Rajada. Also the area of Tucume and the Witches market will be an unforgettable experience.

The opinion of our clients about us:

Excelente la visita de dos días al Cañón del Colca! El vehículo estaba en excelentes condiciones, y el hotel en Coporaque fue una muy buena elección. Nuestra guía era muy amable y conocía bien la zona, así que nos podía brindar explicaciones interesantes y relevantes de lo que veíamos. Es un gran paseo, con actividades muy variadas para dos días. En particular, el avistaje de cóndores estuvo genial. El paisaje es impresionante y muy cambiante entre Arequipa y el Valle del Colca, y tuvimos mucha suerte con el clima, a pesar de ser temporada de lluvias. Recomiendo hacer el paseo de dos días, porque las distancias son largas para hacerlo todo en el mismo día. Roberto C. (02/2020)

Toda mi familia tomamos un tour al Colca, visitamos el pueblo del Colca, estuvimos en la Cruz del Cóndor, nos bañamos en la piscina de aguas termales, visitamos el pueblo de Llanque, etc, nos halojamos en el Hotel Mamayachi en el pueblo de Coporaque , con muy buena vista, habitaciones limpias y excelente comida. Los servicios de traslados, visitas y precios fueron cumplidos a cabalidad. Fue una experiencia muy agradable, que recomendaría a todos. Es una empresa muy seria. ¡Excelente!

Hemos pasado dos dias maravillosos de excursión por el Cañón del Colca, un cañón que no se pueden perder si viajan a Peru. He de destacar la amabilidad y profesionalidad de nuestro guía Jorge y también de nuestro conductor Alfredo, han sido en todo momento muy amables y nos han explicado con todo detalle el Cañón y sus pueblitos. Dormimos en Casa Mamayachiy también todo un acierto. Sin duda alguna recomendaría este tour por su gran majestuosidad en paisajes y por la profesionalidad de su personal. estherika - Zaragoza, España (12/2019)

Tuve la oportunidad de hacer el tour al cañón del Colca de 2 días con mi familia , nos toco Antonio como guia . Destaco su excelente disposición , conocimiento y preocupación . Nos toco una tormenta y a pesar de eso nos acompañó en todas las actividades . Su disposición con el turista es sobresaliente , mis felicitaciones . Los lugares que visitamos son maravillosos y Antonio con sus explicaciones le dio el contexto a cada lugar visitado . La calidad del servicio y de las comidas se nota . Sin duda uno de los operadores más recomendables en Arequipa Sergio G. / Chillan, Chile (01-2020)

Agradecemos a Giardino Tours, en especial a Carmen Rosa que ha sido la persona que nos ha diseñado un circuito maravilloso por Perú. Además, el personal de la empresa con la que he tenido el gusto de tratar, tanto Karla como Juanita, que han estado en todo momento pendientes de nuestro grupo y solucionar cualquier incidencia rápidamente. También nuestro agradecimiento a sus guías, Joel, Gerber, Mitzy, José Luis y Carmen Rosa Canales, y a todos los conductores, gracias a todos ellos, nuestro viaje a Perú ha sido un gran éxito. Hemos disfrutado de la hospitalidad peruana, de sus hermosos e irrepetibles paisajes y su riquísima y sana comida. Será un viaje que siempre recordaremos y recomendamos a todos aquellos que estén dudando si hacer un viaje tan largo vale la pena. Claro que vale la pena, ha sido inolvidable. En resumen, muy buena atención, inmejorable servicio y han cumplido con todas nuestras expectativas en nuestro circuito por Perú. Abrazos para todos del grupo SANZ. Rufino Sanz. España.

Hallo, Wir möchten uns nochmals ganz herzlich für die sehr gute Organisation bedanken. Es war eine tolle Reise, und es hat alles geklappt. Wir haben von Ihnen alle nötigen Unterlagen und Informationen erhalten, Führer und Chauffeur waren stets pünktlich vor Ort, und die Hotels waren gut. Auch in Bolivien hatten wir keine Probleme, wir waren mit „Turisbus“ sehr zufrieden. Es ist schwierig, Höhepunkte zu nennen, da es überall schön und interessant war. Spezielle Erlebnisse waren die Tage auf dem Titicacasee sowie der Besuch das Salar de Uyuni. Für meinen Mann war der Abstecher in den Urwald der Höhepunkt; er kam begeistert zurück. Er hatte eine ausgezeichnete und gut deutsch sprechende Führerin. Unsere Erwartungen wurden in jeder Beziehung erfüllt. Balthasar und Maria Alig, die Schweiz (Peru /Bolvia 19 days)

Thank you so much Giadino Tours and especially Karla, for organizing such a great trip through the south of Peru for me and my friends! It was great that you planned everything according to our wishes and during the three–week-tour it all worked out perfectly, to every station or new place we got there was somebody waiting for us, to pick us up and take to the hotel and back. We didnt have to worry or organize anything for ourseleves, so we felt very comfortable during the trip and also before and after, because you took care of everything and checked on us frequently. Thanks again for everything, we had a wonderful time!!! Lozada Cristina and friends - Golden South 14 days.

Hello! We had a fantastic trip and much of this was due to your excellent organisation of our route, transportation and accommodation. Thank you. Communication was very good, If we were to venture your way again we would most certainly use your services and indeed we would have no hesitation in recommending you to other people. Reviews seem to relate mostly to trips to Colca Canyon and there is very little mention that you can organise excellent longer itineraries as you did for us. Food for thought perhaps. There must be a big market for indepent travellers such as us who want to use the services of a local agent in whom they think they can trust. It remains only for us to thank you again for organising a splendid trip. I will send you some photos when i have sorted them out. Best wishes! Bill and Suzie Graham.

La experiencia de nuestro tour "El Sur de Oro" con Giardino ha sido espectacular. Un equipo entregado a nuestro bienestar, con horarios puntuales de recogida en nuestros hoteles, un circuito de visitas acertadamente escogido, una gran capacidad de adaptar programas a ciertos imprevistos (la huelga de Arequipa no fue obstáculo) y una gran calidad en todos los servicios digna de elogio. Gracias a tod@s por hacer de nuestras vacaciones un recuerdo inolvidable!!! Esteban Pujantel - España (Agosto 2019)

Four of us took a three night trip to The Colca Canyon, the third deepest canyon in the world, full of history, colorful indigenous people, incredible scenery and flying condors. It was a magical and unforgettable trip. Luis Z (Feb 2020)

For such a complex and tailored tour over 15 days I have nothing to complain but just praise for the clockwork organization. Thanks again, we will be back for the North Perú and Selva tour in a couple of years and definitely ask Katia again for her expertise Cosmopolitan67

Sehr schöne Tour mit einem hervorragendem Guide und nicht zu vergessen der super Fahrer. Der Guide wusste genau wo wir den Condor finden, es wurden zahlreiche Stopps zum fotografieren gemacht. Vielen Dank für die 2 tollen Tage. Kussewitzer Nov 2019

"Abbiamo fatto un tour con questa agenzia. Tutto perfetto, a partire dalla Guida (Alex), alla sistemazione ed ai luoghi visitati. Abbiamo visto tutto nei tempi fissati e non ci hanno fatto mancare niente. Semplicemente splendidi!" Federico P

Thank you for all the help arranging and supporting our Peru trip.Arriving at the Sun Gate and the view of Machu Picchu was definitely a highlight of our trip. Having the cellphone was nice and provided reassurance the trip would go well. We really enjoyed Peru and your wonderful organization and the helpful staff made it very pleasant. Overall we had a great trip. Thanks again! Best Regards. Don & Nancy Piercy - Canada (Peru, Golden South 15 days 2019)
