Huanchaco and Arco Iris (04 November 2005)

After Chan Chan we headed for lunch at the nearby fishing village of Huanchaco. Here you can see the traditional "totora" (reed) fishing boats, still used by the local fisherman.

Here we are on the jetty, (need to work on the camera angle).


Back in Trujillo we visited the Huaco Iris, one of the best preserved Chimu temples. (It was covered with sand until the 1960's). It has slightly pyramidal walls decorated with repeated rainbow designs. Opportunity for more photos!
