From Chiclayo we took a bus for another couple of hours south to the city of Trujillo then a taxi 20 minutes to the coastal beach town of Huanchaco where we stayed a couple of nights.
It's a small resort town popular with holidaying Peruvians and is famous for it's unusual fishing 'boats' which are reed rafts.
Had a relaxing couple of days doing not much. The town is surrounded by desert with high mountains in the distance.
Many restaurants around, most specialising in seafood. I had an unfortunate experience one morning ordering fried eggs for breakfast which turned out to be deep fried battered crab eggs. Ewww! Tasted as good as it sounds. (ie Disgusting!)
Actually Peruvian cuisine is turning out to be not good for the diet. Typical dish is fried chicken, Beef, or Fish with fried Potato Chips. Pretty much every dish comes with chips. The potato did originate in Peru so it's understandable they eat lots of them but I haven't seen any steamed or mashed. Always fried.
We did find a place that served the biggest burger's we have ever seen though! No chips on that.
