Trujillo Walking Tour of the Plaza de Armas and Cathedral
From €27 per person
See availability →A Trujillo walking tour through the Plaza de Armas, the Cathedral and the Casa de la Emancipación, with a bilingual guide, monument entry and a short route on foot.
The Trujillo walking tour is a morning on foot through the historic centre, with no vehicle at all, which is why it suits anyone who wants to feel the streets. A bilingual guide leads the short route, which ends where it began.
It opens at the Plaza de Armas, where the Liberty Monument stands with the four sculptures around it. Then you visit the Cathedral of Trujillo, which dates from the seventeenth century. Further on you pass the church of La Merced and arrive at the Casa de la Emancipación, the place to hear how Trujillo won its independence long before Lima.
The walk is a gentle way to understand why Trujillo matters in the story of Peruvian independence, and it fits easily into a morning in the city. Entrance to the monuments is included, so there is nothing more to buy at the doors. Food, transport and hotel pick-up are not part of the tour, and nobody drives you between the stops, so the whole route is covered on foot.
