On this Trujillo cruise port tour, a day ashore from Salaverry becomes a quick history of the coast, with entrance tickets to the archaeological sites already covered. Pickup and drop-off are at the cruise port, and groups run from 1 to 32 people, led by a guide who speaks English and Spanish.
It begins at Huaca de la Luna, a Moche ceremonial centre, with a look at the Huaca del Sol next to it. The group then continues to the Plaza de Armas, the historic heart of Trujillo, before heading for Chan Chan.
