Once a quiet fishing town, Huanchaco is becoming a destination due to its laid-back vibe, wonderful beaches and proximity to the Chan Chan ancient ruins - one of the largest cities in pre-Colombian South America.
 
The archeological site is only three miles from Trujillo, and guided tours can be booked from the agents in town.
