(Translated by Google) Exceptional beach, not a shadow of waste, normal employees clean it every morning. Very very few people. The water is blue and clear, and above all warm! You enter it like your bathtub. The ocean creates mini rivers 15 cm high on the beach at high tide, ideal for children. Not far away there is "los organos", a small picturesque village, but no need to go there, because you can have groceries, water, whatever you want delivered by motorbike taxi. On the other hand, for gringos like me, be careful of the heat and UV rays, it's extreme! If you want to rent on site air conditioning is obligatory! And particularly hungry mosquitoes 24 hours a day 🙃! (Original) Plage exceptionnelle, pas l' ombre d' un déchet, normal des employés nettoient tous les matin. Très très peu de monde. L' eau est bleu et clair, et surtout chaude! Vous y entrez comme dans votre baignoire. L' océan créer sur la plage à marrée haute des sortes de mini rivières de 15 cm de hauteur , idéales pour les enfants. Pas loin il y a "los organos "un petit village pittoresque, mais nul besoin de vous y rendre, car vous pouvez vous faite livrer des courses ,de l' eau tout ce que vous voulez en moto taxi. Par contre pour les gringos comme moi attention à la chaleur et aux UV, c' est extrême! Si vous voulez louer sur place la clim est Obligatoire! Et des moustiques 24h/24 particulièrement affamés 🙃!

(Translated by Google) The beach is incredible. Excellent scenery, the beach is very long. Several accommodation options. Excellent weather (Original) La playa increible. Excelente paisaje, la playa muy extensa. Varias opciones para hospedaje. Excelente clima

(Translated by Google) Beautiful beach, very quiet and calm. The water in October was 26C making it perfect for a refreshing swim on the shore. You can also see humpback whales very close to the beach. Ideal for a moment of relaxation. (Original) Hermosa playa, muy tranquila y calma. El agua en octubre estaba a 26C haciéndola perfecta para un refrescante baño en la orilla. Además se pueden observar ballenas jorobadas muy cerca de la playa. Ideal para un momento de relajación.

(Translated by Google) Very nice beach, very clean and relaxing. But almost everything is privatized and access to the beach is limited. Almost everything is taken over by houses, restaurants or hotels. However, despite this, I quite liked the beach. (Original) Muy bonita playa, muy limpia y relajante. Pero casi todo está privatizado y los accesos a la playa son contados. Casi todo está copado por casas, restaurantes u hoteles. Sin embargo, a pesar de ello, me gustó bastante la playa.

(Translated by Google) The beach is beautiful, but the access is very bad, terrible... you can see the neglect of the authorities for such a touristic and representative place of Poira. (Original) Linda la playa , el acceso muy malo, terrible... se ve el abandono de las autoridades para ser un lugar tan turistico y representativo de Poira

(Translated by Google) Its beaches are beautiful, sandy and calm waters but above all they are not dirty like those of Máncora because they are exclusive for guests of nearby hotels. The sunsets are excellent if you stay in a hotel near the beach. The downside is that there is no nearby commercial establishment with a variety of products and above all that do not have excessive prices like those of the mini market I went to. (Original) Sus playas son lindas, arena y aguas tranquilas pero sobre todo no son sucias como las de Máncora porque son exclusivas para los huéspedes de los hoteles cercanos. Los atardeceres son excelentes si te quedas en un hotel cerca a la playa. El punto en contra es que no hay un establecimiento comercial cercano con variedad de productos y sobre todo que no tengan precios excesivos como los del mini market al que fui.

(Translated by Google) Good activity but it is recommended not to try to touch the turtles or feed them. (Original) Buena actividad pero recomendable no intentar tocar a las tortugas o alimentarlas

(Translated by Google) From the pier, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the turtles. Admission to the pier costs 5 soles per person. If you want to swim with the turtles, you also have to pay for a pointless boat ride and then get off next to the pier stairs. Personally, it's not worth it; there are other tours that include this option and are better and cheaper. (Original) Desde el muelle, se puede apreciar de una manera muy linda las tortugas, el ingreso al muelle cuesta 5 soles por persona, adicionalmente a eso si quieres nadar con las tortugas debes pagar una lancha sin ningún sentido para después bajarte al lado de las escaleras del muelle. Personalmente no vale la pena, hay otros tour el cual incluye este plan y sale mejor y más económico.

The plaza is an area to see the locals relax and go about their day. It is surrounded by shops and eateries. The cathedral is beautiful with its glorious architecture. This is a passing attraction in Piura. It is beautiful at night with the lights illuminating the area. It is good for some photo opportunities and to see locals just sitting around and conversing.

Very nice town square with historic Catholic cathedral.

A nice big park in the center of Piura, surrounded by plenty of shops and restaurants and the Santa Rosa cathedral. Many street vendors selling snacks, ice cream, shaved ice with syrups, etc. around. A nice break in the city.

Great place, clean and croudet ,people really nice ,everybody doing own business, cero stress ...

Cute little place to walk around surrounded by shops, pharmacies and banks so you can get anything you forgot before moving forward with your trip, especially if you're visiting the beach town in Màncora. There's a little museum too that you can visit.

A good space to spend some time under the shade. However, it should definitely be improved considering the history of the city and the number of years of its creation. The streets around it are being paved and there is a lot of dust and dirt everywhere. Needs a bit more of care.

We caught a combi to Tucume from Lambayeque and then walked to the museum. After a long and very hot walk we arrived at the museum and were told the site is closed due to the rains, and only the museum was open, but without a discount in price. There was no way to view the pyramids up close. Then we couldn't find a moto to take us back to town, so we had another long walk back. I wouldn't recommend visiting unless you can confirm the site is open.

The museum is open. The rest seems to be closed. Or guide would not let us go close to the pyramides. They where closed?? This looks like a place that is not operating on a good tourist level. Disappointing.

Real good museum about the history of the region. Signage in both English and Spanish and the old pyramids are absolutely breathtaking. Spent 1 hour in the museum and 2 hours walking around the pyramids. Don’t forgot to go to the mirador and see the hairless dogs indigenous to the area. Highly recommend. It’s S2.5 combi ride from Chiclayo and S3 motortaxi ride once you get to Tucume to the museum.

Interesting things tying together the present and past. And everything was in English too!

Its a small museum but nice. Start here before going to the pyramid and mirador.

Some reproductions & much original artifacts. Lots of good signage on BOTH Spanish and English.

Excelente para aprender historia. This is specifically for children

Nice place to visit. Can walk up a nearby hill to get a good view of the whole place and the surrounding area. There is a way to get in round the left hand side you follow a dirt track road in and you don't have to pay the entrance fee that way.

A bit lacking in explanation and not that much to visit, I think about 2/3 is closed but we walked around anyway. You can't visit the sacred stone (that was closed off). We did route a+b, which I would recommend, but route b is a quite a long walk to get to the excavation site, which you just walk around. There's a bit of information, but not much. If you are going to Trujillo, it might be better to save your visit for the Huaca de la Luna, which is 15min away from Trujillo and a better site to visit in my opinion.

An amazing place to visit

Good place rich in history of ancient culture. RECOMMENDATION: Bring your own hat/cap and water bottle (Please do not throw empty bottles in this place). PD.: This is a arid place, if you don't like walk on rustic pathways and under the sweltering sun so this is not for you.

I really love it! You can do different activities such as: ride bicycle, walking, see culture and my advice is: taking photos a lot! It was great and beautiful

Probably should have more stars, but they didn't tell me when I chose option 3, both routes for 12 Soles, that the main sites on one route were closed. They'll stay closed for several months. The on site museum is good.

Nice archeological site! Nice miradors too for sunset or sunrise. Very interesting museum which I really recommend to understand the story and the actual life of this region.

The Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum near Chiclayo is a must-visit if you love history and archaeology. The pyramid-style architecture itself reflects the ancient Moche culture, and inside you walk through the story of the Lord of Sipán step by step, from excavation to the stunning treasures found in his tomb. The gold, silver, ceramics, and textiles give a deep insight into the artistry and beliefs of the Mochica civilization. The museum is very well maintained — clean, organized, and carefully curated with proper lighting and security that protect these priceless artifacts. The exhibits are presented with respect and detail, making it easy to appreciate the importance of this culture in Peru’s history. Some explanations are only in Spanish and weekends can be a bit crowded, but overall it is one of the best museums in Peru and highly recommended 😊😊😊

Visited this great museum in March this year. It’s a fantastic experience. Well worth a visit if you’re nearby

Be prepared to spend a lot of time looking around it's a very impressive museum and well thought out

Really well presented, the artifacts are fasincating and you'll get a lot out of it if you're an enthusiast or casual history fan. It has great english translations for the first couple of rooms and then they abruptly stop and don't reappear for the rest of the museum.

Excellent museum. Make sure to put personal belongings in locker as they do not allow large bags. Pay for a guide or you will not get the full experience. A must see in peru. I was lucky enough to be there for thier 35 year anniversary today.

Beautiful museum, with amazing exhibits, really enjoyed, paid extra for a guided tour, but unfortunately the English speaking guide, spoke hardly any English. Very few of the exhibits had English explanations. But I still enjoyed my time here

Unexpectedly amazing. Probably the most complete archaeological museum I've ever been to. Storyline is very well done and items are kept on careful display. You will be amazed here. I do hope the museum will translate more of the information to English. It seemed they stopped doing that somewhere halfway, which is a shame!

Wonderful beach. I found more restaurants and attractions such as Surf's class and aerobics.

Very nice beach. Not to much people. Nice and cheap restaurant's close to the beach

Good place to go with you family 🏖️🌅

I spent some really interesting hours in the archaeological complex El Brujo. It covers thousands of years of uninterrupted human occupation. The complex is situated about 70 km north of Trujillo. It is about a 45 minutes drive from Trujillo and absolutely worth the trip. The latest excavations carried out at the pyramid called Huaca Cao have revealed a ceremonial site that is 1800 years old. It was built with the intention to bury a royal person. They found a mummified young female person. The condition of the mummy was so good that the could see tattooes on different parts of her body. We could see the body in the museum. She was called: La dama de Cao, (The Lady of Cao) and we could see a lot of artefacts and jewellery. After seeing the museum, we walked around in the huaca, and it was really interesting. This was the Moche culture, and I recommend reading about the Moche before you visit El Brujo. And it is also interesting to make a stop in the nearby village Magdalena de Cao. Lots of nice paintings on the walls of the houses.

I most see if you already saw Chan Chan, Huaca del sol and Huaca de la Luna. They have a " mummified woman ruler". The site is one hour away from the city of Trujillo but the trip is worth it.

Awesome site! Didn’t see a witch or wizard but the paintings and walls were very impressive! One of the better sites around Trujillo, and quite straightforward to reach without a tour, just leave yourself plenty of time for the return as the colectivo was slow to fill back from Magdalena

The archaeological site of El Brujo is absolutely amazing! The ruins are impressive and the museums are very well organized and informative. This was an important ceremonial complex of the Moche culture, dating back to around 100–750 AD. You can still see the remains of pyramids, temples, and incredible murals that tell stories of rituals and daily life. One of the highlights is learning about the Señora de Cao, a female ruler discovered here, whose tomb and artifacts are beautifully displayed in the museum. A fascinating place that combines history, culture, and stunning views of the coast—definitely worth the visit!

This place was see inspiring considering it was built 1000 years before the Incas. You could easily spend all day walking around

Not quite as impressive size wise as some of the other archeological sites we had visited. However the number of tombs discovered so far really give an insight to the changing burial techniques over time. A lack of funds has temporarily stopped any further excavation. If you visit Peru it is still worth the effort.

Pyramids nowhere near as impressive as later Inca, Azrec or Mayan structures and they have been greatly eroded by rain. However the excavations show an advanced culture fir ghe time. The museum gives an excellent interpretation and there is a room full of gold clothing, ornaments etc that the Spaniards missed giving us all a better insight into the distant. past

Best place for ceviche de corvina. It’s $$ comparing to other restaurants in the same location, but you are paying for the quality of your foods!!! The fresh lemonade was perfect with any meals and so refreshing. Definitely come back here again soon.

Nice view to the beach, food was very good specially "ceviche" and shrimps.

Im here right now. I got the Ceviche de Pescado and I immediately stopped eating just to write that review. I spent 2 months in Mancora eating the best ceviches and this Ceviche (Huanchaco Beach) is by far the best I have ever eaten. Fish looks good, seasoned and made super-well and tasty. Big portion. I gave it 4 stars just because it is expensive, for a fish ceviche I payed 39 /s which is quite a lot.

The ceviche was normal, but expensive. the place has very nice views.

It took more than an hour to get my meal! Horrible service

Just average food, nothing exciting. Nice view.

Good food and beautiful view of the surf

It was great and really interesting and if you have kids then they would be really engaged if you hire a tour guide

Certainly Chan Chan is one of the historically highly important archeological sites in the country. However, from a visitor's perspective the site has a few drawbacks. First, there is very little to no information at the archeological spots (only some in the museum). At the main site you can not even tell what is "original" and what was reconstructed. Second, the complex is large and scattered across the area (the ticket covers four spots) - you either need a driver or be prepared to walk quiet a lot. There is also no information on where to start and which route to take between the four spots. Of you habe the time, pay this site a visit and decide for yourself. Bit if you have to choose, I would personally recommend Huaca de Luna instead for a half-day trip.

Absolutely impressive site! The ruins of Chan Chan are huge and give you a real sense of the scale of this ancient city. It’s very well maintained and easy to explore, with detailed explanations about the culture and history of the Chimú civilization. Walking through the palaces and seeing the geometric and animal designs on the walls is truly fascinating. A must-visit if you’re in Trujillo!

I think the chan chan site itself was not as impressive as I originally thought. Not a lot of parts of the chan chan ancient city was open to public so the visit to the chan chan site itself was not very long. There are not a lot of description or reconstruction pictures shown on site so it all depends on the guide. Our guide was excellent so it was ok but the site itself was not well presented. It was also not very crowded during our visit. Must visit the museum beforehand or else you won’t know what is happening out there.

This visit is a must go !! I definitely recommend to visit this place and to take a guide (60 soles). With a guide it is much more easy to project oneself in the culture and lifestyle of the Chimu and understand the interaction between different cultures in Peru (Moche, Chimu, Inka). Without a guide, you won’t be able to catch all the details and subtleties of this place!

I recommend to take a tour to get information about the place. We didn't get a guide but it worse to pay for it

Awe inspiring place for its huge scale more than anything. The mud carvings are attractive and lots of conservation and repair work is ongoing. The museum is a little small and dated but the city makes up for it.

Very cool colourful city centre but a lot of people and cars all the time

Really cool place in the center of Trujillo. Safe, lots of families around and security is solid. The architecture is really beautiful and it is a nice space, and there are also many great restaurants within one block of the plaza itself. Must-visit place if you’re visiting Trujillo or Huanchaco.

Beautiful main square! A vibrant and historic place surrounded by colonial architecture and colorful buildings. The central monument is impressive, and the atmosphere is lively both during the day and in the evening. A great spot to start exploring Trujillo and enjoy the local vibe.

A pleasant surprise, an architectural treat lots of beautiful old colonial administrative buildings around this huge square, clean and hassle free. Some nice restaurants and coffee shops around the square to definitely worth a visit.

My favourite Plaza de Armas in Peru. An open and spacious square surrounded by colourful colonial architecture with a monument dedicated to the fight for independence.

Nice big plaza. Could do with more green and shade.

Small but lovely and interesting part of Trujillo

Very interesting site! We had a lovely tour guide (sadly I don’t quite remember here name, Even?). The tours are free on a donation basis. They have tours in English and Spanish with the last English tour being at 3.15pm. Only annoying and rude thing was that the ticket seller sold us museum tickets even though it was only open for 8 more min (until 4pm)! I understand that the site needs money but this is not the way to get it. If you’re in Trujillo you should definitely check out this site!

The "Temple of the Sun" Huace del Sol is another Pyramid-style ceremonial place of the Moche civilization. Located close to the Temple of the Moon, just outside of Trujillo. Unfortunately the Spanish Colonial Forces destroyed a lot of this site after their search for gold. The site itself still is an impressive reminder on the high capabilities in architecture of pre-Colombian civilizations.

Great to see the sun temple and be part of a tour group where the pictures / significance is explained. Some places were badly destroyed but you can see they are actively trying to keep what is left preserved.

I had never heard of this civilization. Well preserved tiles, especially considering they are mud brick. The people who lived there were some blood-thirsty MFers.

I wound up walking in since I took a Moche colectivo instead of one that comes direct to the museum. That worked well because the onsite tours do not visit Huaca del Sol. They go through Huaca de Luna. There are signs indicating that you shouldn't attempt to climb the pyramid. It was nice that I could see it up close as I walked the rest of the way to the fee station.

Amazing place, museum was informative and had explanations in English. Our English guide Rosemary was really good and the guide service was included in the entrance fee (10 soles for site and 5 for museum). Definitely recommend thoroughly enjoyed.

This is something which you don't want to miss. If you are a history buff and like knowing the story of the people of Peru, this is a great stop! Away from the city, you can get a real feel for what it meant to be a part of the Peruvian civilizations of old!

It's such a good place but it is better on Sundays

This is always the best family spot to spend some time with our loved ones.

Loved it. Lost of plants, boat ride, horseback riding, zoo like area and a delicious restaurant with live music on the weekends - El Rinconcito

This park has been given to the current owners as a gift by Sider Peru, a company which is eco-friendly and environment-conscious though industrial. Sadly, the new owners of Vivero cut down hundreds of healthy trees to create a noisy lunapark filled with tourist attractions such as quad bike zone. The last natural bit of the park is soon to be destroyed in order to give more space to the fun train which runs there. It is sad to see the stumps of trees that have died perfectly healthy to make room for more concrete in an already arid, desert city. While in Chimbote everyone talks about the beauty of Dubai, which is a great inspiration here, right the opposite of what we find in Dubai is being done here. Many of the parts of the park are kept unattended and in a horrible state such as the lagoons with wooden bridges which could remind one of Japanese gardens if they were treated well.

Liked the place but too many people. Parking was an adventure

Such a nice place to go with the family.

A place to walk and to have some fun.

Nice quiet secluded. From time to time you run into little quaint places nobody seems to be aware of, this is one of them. A small bay/fishing village/summer home community. Plenty of restaurants to choose from all featuring the catch of the day. The ambiance invites to R&R to the point it is difficult to decide when to leave and when doing so promising yourself to be back in a near future

(Translated by Google) The beach is beautiful and hygienic, you can still see life in the sea. It is recommended to bring aquashoes, float and umbrella. The food is delicious and fresh. Only at the level of hotel services and accommodations is the offer scarce, bad and expensive. They must improve in that aspect. From there, beautiful spa. (Original) La playa es bonita e higiénica, se nota vida aún en el mar. Recomendable llevar aquashoes, flotador y sombrilla. La comida es deliciosa y fresca.

(Translated by Google) Nice place, but you don't see any turtles, hahaha (Original) Bonito lugar, pero no se ven tortugas jejeje

Fantastic scenery. The hike for fit people is a maximum of three hours up and two down. Unfit Instagrammers who haven’t acclimated should have second thoughts. Indeed there were 7 people on our minibus who were not fit enough to make it to the lagoon.

The ascent takes on average 2.5-3 hours. It’s a fairly simple hike, not too steep but requires a decent level of fitness. It’s 7 km each way, and it’s a point to point route so no chance of getting lost. The views are absolutely breathtaking along the way, and there is a smaller body of water called Consolation lake for those who cannot reach Lagoon 69 within the time limit given. Ideally time to acclimate before the hike is recommended as it can be difficult otherwise. Luckily the day we hiked was quiet of crowds but there was many a wild bull roaming but they are completely placid. Small restaurant selling drinks and snacks and toilets for 1 sol at the beginning of the trek. The road in and out was actually horrendous and so much worse than the hike itself so prepare. If you get motion sickness this might be an issue.

Quite the hike to get there, but well worth it. Nice coffee & biscuits in the hut when finished as well! No point in uploading photos - you know what it looks like! Amazing.

One of the best things I've seen on my trip around south America. I had been told good things about laguna 69 and I was not disappointed. The scenery was stunning and I was amazed at how quite and tranquil it was. I'd definitely recommend coming here as it's such an stunning bit of nature!

LAGUNA 69 has the most amazing views. Your trek to this lake will give your eyes the beauty of creeks, rivers, cascades, waterfalls and fauna of the area. Get ready to trek 5.1 miles to reach it, but the journey is so worth it. Enjoy the cool breeze and the sun rays of the day! 🇵🇪 ☀️ 🏔 💕 🗻 🌄

Absolutely fantastic - the kind of places that is definitely better irl than in any instagram adultered post. The hike up is ok, the views are beautiful, and the last bit psycho torture :) but the moment you see the plaque with the name of the lagoon and the lagoon behind it.. it is just the reason everyone hikes. We were lucky with the weather, but only for a few minutes. The clouds settled in quite fast. If you go on an organised tour from Huaraz, get ready for a long three-hour drive to go and another 3 hours back, with half of it in very bad and bumpy roads.

Did it in mid March 2025. Collectivo rides were organized by a tour company through my hostel (Alpes Huaraz). 3 hours drive with breakfast stop. Hike up support challenging due to altitude. Rainy, cold, muddy. Check out the AllTrails app with it's altitude profile to get a clearer idea. Well worth it.

The lake is nice, but i went with organized tour, better to go on foot

Excelente Tours: PERU MOUNTAIN TRANS EIRL.

Very beautiful! A bit touristic but worth the view

(Translated by Google) Beautiful. The road trip can be tiring, especially because of the trail, but the landscape is very beautiful. I recommend that you take a pill for altitude (soroche), so that you don't get shocked and feel bad. Take into account the entrance to the lagoon. Foreigners are charged S/30. The boat ride cost us S/10 per person. (Original) Muy bonito. El viaje en carretera puede ser cansado, más que todo por la trocha, pero es muy bonito el paisaje. Les recomiendo que se tomen una pastilla para la altura (soroche), para que no les choque y se vayan a sentir mal. Tengan en cuenta la entrada para la laguna. A los extranjeros se les cobra S/30. El paseo en bote nos costó S/10 por persona.

Feels like that mountain is coming again soon.

Mount Huascarán is the highest peak in Peru and one of the most majestic in the entire Andes mountain range. Located within Huascarán National Park in the Ancash region, it rises to an impressive 6,768 meters (22,205 feet) above sea level, making it the tallest point in Peru and the second highest in South America, just behind Aconcagua in Argentina. Beyond its geographical significance, Huascarán holds deep symbolic value for Peruvians and is a revered destination for mountaineers, nature lovers, and landscape photographers. The mountain consists of two main summits: Huascarán Norte (6,654 m) and Huascarán Sur (6,768 m), the latter being the highest. Surrounded by glacial valleys, turquoise lagoons, and snow-covered peaks, the scenery is breathtaking. The picturesque town of Huaraz serves as the base for many hikes and expeditions and offers stunning views of the mountain. The region is also home to unique Andean biodiversity, with flora and fauna specially adapted to high-altitude conditions. Climbing Huascarán is a serious challenge, suitable only for experienced climbers. The extreme altitude, unstable glaciers, and rapidly changing weather demand technical skills and physical preparation. However, for those who prefer to admire the mountain from a distance, there are numerous trekking routes nearby—such as those leading to the Llanganuco Lakes—that offer spectacular views. Whether for adventure, contemplation, or a connection with Andean nature, Mount Huascarán stands as a towering symbol of beauty, strength, and awe.

50 km of trekking and meet trekkers and rest in tend.

Walked around the santa cruz loop, absolutely stunning, takes about 4 days in total and it is one of the best treks I have ever done, would thoroughly recommend it, Lake 69 is also unbelievably beautiful

Beautiful area. It is worth visiting..

Among us

So nice

Nice baths but we were disappointed with how hot they were - only the small baby pool was very hot. If you want a proper hot bath I think you need to rent one of the smaller baths which we didn't do.

(Translated by Google) Very good place. It has 3 hot water pools. A good place to visit with family. It has several changing tables. They sell cheap swimwear at the door. The pool, as it is with minerals, has a brown color and can dye or mark swimwear. I only recommend that the place change the pool ladder, it is somewhat dangerous. But it is a good and obligatory place to visit. (Original) Muy buen lugar. Tiene 3 piscinas de agua caliente. Un lugar bueno para visitar en familia. Tiene varios cambiadores. En la puerta venden ropa de baño barata. La piscina como es con minerales tiene color marrón y puede teñir o marcar la ropa de baño. Solo recomiendo que el local cambie la escalera de la piscina, es algo peligrosa. Pero es un lugar bueno y obligatorio que visitar.

(Translated by Google) An excellent option for relaxing near Huaraz. It's very easy to get there: a taxi costs around S/. 15 and a van only S/. 2. The resort has three large pools and also private pools (single, double, and even triple), ideal for enjoying more privacy. The water is pleasantly warm and rich in minerals, which greatly contributes to relaxation. I recommend wearing dark-colored swimwear, as the minerals can stain light-colored clothing. Definitely a worthwhile experience if you visit Huaraz. (Original) Una excelente opción para relajarse cerca de Huaraz. Es muy fácil llegar: en taxi cuesta alrededor de S/.15 y en combi solo S/.2. El lugar cuenta con 3 piscinas grandes y también pozas privadas (individuales, dobles y hasta triples), ideales para disfrutar en mayor privacidad. El agua es agradablemente caliente y con alto contenido de minerales, lo que ayuda mucho a la relajación. Recomiendo llevar ropa de baño oscura, ya que los minerales pueden manchar las prendas claras. Sin duda, una experiencia que vale la pena si visitas Huaraz.

(Translated by Google) Los Baños de Monterrey are located near the city of Huaraz, you can go by private vehicle or by public transportation. There are options to enter swimming pools or individual pools. Each of the options has a reasonable use time (15 - 20 minutes). The facilities are good, clean and safe. You can access the viewpoint for free, from where you can see beautiful views. (Original) Los Baños de Monterrey se encuentran cerca a la ciudad de Huaraz, puedes ir en movilidad particular o en transporte público. Se tienen opciones de ingresar a piscinas o a pozas individuales. Cada una de las opciones tienen un tiempo de uso prudencial (15 - 20 minutos). Las instalaciones son buenas, limpias y seguras. Se puede acceder al mirador de manera gratuita, desde donde se pueden apreciar lindas vistas.

(Translated by Google) The place looks organized, the water is warm, reaching temperatures of about 20 degrees. I only visited the pool, not the cameras. (Original) El lugar se ve organizado, las agua son tibias llegan a temperaturas de entre 20 grado. Solo visite la piscina, no las cámaras

(Translated by Google) Delicious hot springs, they have private pools for groups of 2 and 3 people, there are also outdoor pools, one low at most 1.5 meters and the high one 1.8 meters, the water is hot, the only bad thing is that they give you 30 minutes to use the private pools but you leave them empty, meaning you have to wait for them to fill up and then you lose time from the 30 minutes, there is parking outside, on the side there is the entrance to a waterfall (Original) Ricas aguas termales, tienen pozas privadas para grupos de 2 y de 3 personas, tambien hay piscinas al aire libre una baja de maximo 1.5 metros y la alta de 1.8 metros, el agua es caliente, lo unico malo es que te dan 30 minutos para usar las pozas privadas pero te las das vacias, osea tienes que esperar que se llene y ahi ya vas perdiendo tiempo de los 30 minutos, tiene estacionamiento afuera, al costado hay la entrada a una cascada

Very vibrant and full of life, beautiful plaza. As with a lot of places around the world, be vigilant about pickpocketing and robbers, we had one man follow us from mamma mia cafe to the plaza and sit right next to my friend on his phone (extremely confident) i wanted to say something but my friend advised me to not to and she is a local from lima

Great place to chill and people watch. Very clean with a fountain and plenty of trash cans.

Bautiful plaza de Armas with the usual church,fontain and mamy opportunities ro sit down and watch the surroundings. There is always something happening,like a parade,people singing,dancing,street vendors. Most of the time you can get drinks,ice cream,popcorn or other sorts of food.

"The Plaza de Armas in Huaraz is such a charming spot! It’s surrounded by colorful gardens, tall palm trees, and has amazing views of the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Locals gather here to relax, chat, and enjoy the sunshine, and there’s always something going on – from street vendors selling snacks to musicians playing traditional tunes. It’s the perfect place to sit on a bench, people-watch, and soak up the atmosphere before heading to explore the nearby cafes and shops

The square was very busy due to carnival festivities. The music was lovely and the kids bands were bright and cheerful. I will return for a slower day soon. The grounds are well maintained and pretty.

It is a nice park to visit when the sun is out. You can also walk from here to the oldest barrio in the city. There were major earthquakes in the 40s and 70s that leveled the town. Only a small area survived. It is close to the anthropological museum as well.

Beautiful Plaza de Armas. Waterfall, flowers, seats surrounded by local artisan crafts, banks etc

Beautiful spot for an easy acclimatisation hike 6km return trip. You can get there using a colectivo bus.

A good acclimatization hike, take an 1-hr collectivo from huaraz to reach the trail head at Pitec, 20 soles round trip. Some steep parts of the path have cable installed, quite fun to climb.

Laguna Churup, standing at 4486 meters above sea level, is one of the most notable one-day hikes from Huaraz. With easy access via public transportation or taxi, it takes just about 40 minutes to reach the starting point, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely breakfast in the city before embarking on the adventure. The hike begins in Pitec, at 3830 meters (the boundary of Huascarán National Park). It is a steep path requiring constant physical effort, including a rocky section where you need to climb using a metal chain. However, there is an alternative route to the left of the final stretch for those who prefer to avoid the climb. Although the entire trail covers only 3.3 km (each way), it is technically more challenging than the famous Laguna 69. Therefore, it is important not to underestimate this hike and to acclimatize properly by undertaking easier hikes near Huaraz. Upon reaching Laguna Churup, you will be rewarded with the sight of its slender, crystal-clear emerald waters. As an added bonus, you can visit Laguna Churupita, located at 4600 meters, from Laguna Churup, requiring just an extra 2 hours of planning.

Stunning views, even with cloudy and misty weather. Go up with a colectivo (ask around where to find it) and they will take you up; they will be able to take you down again, you just have to wait for them to come back to the top. It can take sometime for it to depart as it needs to be full, both ways, so it can also be quite an uncomfortable ride as it will literally be bursting with local people going up and down the hills. Important note: despite your hostel maybe not recommending that you take a guide, please do. It is very important to know your way, especially when getting closer to the lake. We went up with reduced visibility and rainy weather. You have to literally climb some of the sections with the help of chains on very very slippery rocks (see pics and video); it is extremely dangerous and in any other country the path would be closed during rainy weather. At the end of the path, there are no more indications. We reached the lake out of luck and guidance of other trekkers, via an irregular path since we could not find the way to the miradoro. Gorgeous, but adrenaline inducing

Amazing views, did the hike early at 530am, taxi from huaraz is 50 soles to Pitec, moderate to difficult at times but great for acclimatation, all the way to second lake is almost 5000m

Laguna Churup is so worth the visit! Taking about 2 hours for someone who has recently arrived in huaraz and is not used to the altitude, and perhaps shorter for someone who has been here a little longer. It's not an easy walk, but just wait till you arrive at the lake! And adventurous hike, at parts using metal chains to grab and pull yourself up as its steep, however if you dont want to go through these parts, you can take the left path before so. The lake is a green and blue colour, it is amazing from all parts!

Beautiful lake, but be prepared for steep way. You have to make 700m up in 5km. It was quite difficult, because of altitude. We got some headache and earache. Drink a lot of water and enjoy breathtaking views.

Doesn’t get much better than ceviche on the beach. Great place to watch the tide and probably the most worthwhile thing to do within 30ish minutes of the area other than the archaeological site.

We arrived in a day where it was so cloudy and hazy you could barely see more than 5 meters. However the sand itself was nice and the restaurant promoters didn't disturb too much

Ok

(Translated by Google) Excellent environment to walk and swim for a while, I recommend the Pocitas area, it is quiet and ideal due to the shallow depth and calm sea. (Original) Excelente ambiente para pasear y bañarse un rato, recomiendo la zona de las pocitas, es tranquilo e ideal por la poca profundidad y mar tranquilo.

(Translated by Google) Tuquillo is a beach located in the district and province of Huarmey in the department of Ancash. It has cool, turquoise waters and is a peaceful beach ideal for marine activities such as swimming, fishing, and diving. Tuquillo is an inlet formed between hills and the coastline; to the north, the coastal curve is smaller and forms the beach known as Tuquillo Norte. This beach is calmer and has more buildings, and its sea is conducive to fishing. Tuquillo itself has rougher seas, and to the north is La Pocita, a calm pool surrounded by rocks. Tuquillo Beach is part of a well-known beach circuit in Huarmey, which includes Salinas, Antivito, Maracaná, La Pocita, and Médano beaches, among others. In the Tuquillo resort, visitors can find accommodations and restaurants, as well as continuous shuttle service to the city of Huarmey, especially during the summer. (Original) Tuquillo es una playa que se ubica en el distrito y provincia de Huarmey del departamento de Áncash, posee aguas frías de cierto color turquesa y es una playa apacible que se presta para desarrollar actividades marinas como el nado, la pesca y el buceo. Tuquillo es una ensenada que se forma entre cerros y el litoral; hacia el norte la curva costera que queda es más pequeña y forma la playa denominada Tuquillo Norte. Esta playa es más calmada y presenta un mayor emplazamiento de construcciones y su mar favorece la pesca, mientras que en la propia Tuquillo el mar es más agitado y hacia el lado norte se encuentra la Pocita que es una piscina de aguas tranquilas en medio de rocas. La playa Tuquillo forma parte de un reconocido circuito de playas de Huarmey con las playas Salinas, Antivito, Maracaná, La Pocita, Médano, entre otros; en el balneario de Tuquillo se pueden encontrar alojamientos y restaurantes para los visitantes, así como servicio de transporte continuo a la ciudad de Huarmey, sobre todo en la temporada de verano.

(Translated by Google) Spectacular place, calm sea, blue water, there is everything, food and drinks are brought to your place on the beach, they also rent awnings, umbrellas, and chairs. Rental of everything for water sports, the waters are cold. (Original) Lugar espectacular, mar calmo, agua celeste, hay de todo, comida bebida te la llevan a tu sitio en la playa, también alquilan toldos, sombrillas, y sillas. Alquiler de todo para deporte acuático, las aguas son frías.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful beach with a very calm sea, the water is quite clean. What isn't clean is the beach (sand), because unfortunately, the people who go there are extremely inconsiderate and leave all their trash behind. It's truly a shame that in 2023, people are still so filthy and inconsiderate; it doesn't cost them anything to carry a trash bag and fill it instead of throwing everything on the sand. PLEASE DO NOT POLLUTE THE BEACH IF YOU VISIT! Other things to consider: - The beaches are PACKED on weekends; if possible, I recommend going on a weekday. - There are lodging options, but camping is also possible. Keep in mind that Serenazgo doesn't allow tents to be set up, so you have to wait until 5 p.m. to set them up. - There is parking outside the beach, but if you're camping and want to bring your car closer, you can do so after 5 p.m. To enter, you have to take the road that leads to the small pool. - We brought everything for camping, but I understand they rent tents, mattresses, bathrooms, etc. Again, if you visit, please be more careful with cleanliness 🙏🏼. I read a lot of comments about the trash and thought the city had done something, but everything is still just as dirty. When we went, there was an event organized by the city and Antamina with live music, drinks, and freebies. Instead of spending money on events like that, why don't they invest that money in cleaning the beach? The event was "ECO-TOURISM," yet they mentioned "please don't litter the beaches" three times, when they should have at least done a couple of activities to encourage beach cleanups, instead of encouraging people to buy beer. (Original) Linda playa con mar muy tranquilo, el agua es bastante limpia. Lo que NO es limpio es la playa (arena), porque lamentablemente la gente que va es extremadamente desconsiderada y deja toda su basura. Es realmente una pena que siendo 2023 la gente siga siendo tan cochina y desconsiderada, nada les cuesta llevar una bolsa de basura y llenarla en vez de tirar todo a la arena. NO CONTAMINEN LA PLAYA SI LA VISITAN POR FAVOR! Otras cosas a considerar: - Las playas están REPLETAS los fines de semana, si es posible les recomiendo ir día de semana. - Hay opciones de hospedaje, pero también se puede acampar. Tengan en cuenta que serenazgo no deja poner carpas, entonces tienen que esperar hasta las 5pm que se van para armarlas. - Hay estacionamiento afuera de la playa, pero si van a acampar y desean ingresar su auto más cerca, se puede también pero después de las 5pm. Para ingresar tienen que ir por el camino que lleva a la pocita. - Nosotros llevamos todo para acampar pero tengo entendido que te alquilan carpas, colchones, baño etc. Nuevamente si la visitan porfavor tengan más cuidado con la limpieza 🙏🏼. Leí muchos comentarios sobre la basura y pensé que de repente la municipalidad había echo algo pero sigue todo igual de sucio. Cuando fuimos había un evento de la municipalidad y antamina con música en vivo, vendían tragos y regalaban cosas. En vez de gastar plata en eventos de ese tipo por qué no invierten ese dinero en limpiar la playa? El evento era “ECOTURISTICO”, sin embargo mencionaron 3 veces “porfavor no ensucien las playas”, cuando por lo menos debieron hacer un par de activaciones para incentivar la limpieza de la playa, en vez de incentivar que compren cerveza.

If your in Barranca you gotta go see the sunset from here. Could be better kept but it’s all part of that special Peruvian off the beaten track charm.

Epic jesus

Belloo

Ok

Super

Regular

(Translated by Google) 1.) When I went, they were doing maintenance on those areas. It was good because it shows they're not neglecting these types of attractions. 2.) Everything was clean and tidy. I like it because you can get there by car and there's plenty of parking. 3.) The sunset looks so beautiful from that area, though I did feel a bit of a cold breeze blowing. 4.) It's great for a weekend getaway with friends or family. You don't need a lot of money to get there and explore the area. Plus, visiting the entire beach is beautiful. I personally liked it. (Original) 1.) Cuando fui le estaban dando mantenimiento a esas áreas, fue bueno por que da a entender que no descuidan este tipo de atracciones. 2.) Estaba todo limpio y ordenado, me gusta por que se puede llegar en vehículo y tiene su espacio para estacionarse . 3.) El sunset puufff se ve muy bonito desde esa zona , eso si de mi parte sentí que corría su vientito frio. 4.) Para ir un fin de semana con lo amigos o familia es genial además no se necesita mucho presupuesto para llegar y visitar el lugar, además visitar toda la playa es bonito a mi personalmente me gusto.

Make sure you wear a hat! And bring water. The sun is blazing hot. Try to go during the dry season, then you can cross the river (such a cool experience) to get to the Sacred City. I recommend a guide, you just don't know enough about what you're looking at without one. We drove ourselves, and paid like 2 bucks to get in and another 10 for the guide. If you book with a tour, you're gonna end up paying up to $200. And most guide busses can't get through the river crossings... they try, but it's not guaranteed. They'll take you to a bridge and you'll have to walk across it instead. They are still digging up lots of the city, so there should be more to see in years to come!

This archeological site is a work in progress and well worth the trip if you can brave the two long dirt roads that access the site. Said to be the second oldest civilization in the world and untouched until discovered 30 years ago.

It was a very interesting place and the tour guide gave so much information.

Amazing historical site with Spanish speaking guide to explain the whole area and answer questions.

site is probably gorgeous, but the people working there treat visitors like it's a tourist trap. unworthy of being treated like a Unesco site. As a supano, I'm embarrassed.

The archaeological site is really large and has an interesting history that dates back 5000 years. It is located in the desert and has an oasis underneath it. The runes themselves are interesting to view if you’re a history buff like me. However, the guides they provide only speak Spanish. They do provide lots of details, but if you don’t understand Spanish, it will go over your head like a dead with me. If you’re planning to visit, it’s best to bring a translator or someone who speaks Spanish. The weather can get brutal since it’s right in the desert. There is an oasis in the valley underneath, which is lush green. It is believed that people living here were farmers working on those valley. That is an active archaeological work right across the valley. Drones are not allowed here nor solo travel with a GoPro. It is really not a tourist-friendly location since you would not find many tourists here. You might meet a lot of locals from Lima.

It was beyond my expectation and even when compared to more recent ruins, it’s still pretty advanced and knocked me out of my jaded state… I suppose it’s much harder for it to be depicted as impressive as it is in photos…. It’s a UNESCO heritage site that dates 5,000 years old to 3,000 BC and they’ve found no sign of warfare here…. and it doesn’t look like it’s on the giro go trail. Most of it is to open to the public and it sits on a dry river surrounded mostly by mountains and what’s more interesting is you can see it’s bigger perhaps because they’re working on other structures across the river. This is considered the Mesopotamia of the Americas, the oldest known civilization found in the Americas…. for now… until they find more, which they have reportedly found smaller and perhaps older ruins in the Americas of course, but the word “civilization” is very subjective of course, but even if you don’t consider it to be one of the cradles, it has the most adorable pyramids and it has great displays showcasing the various natural colors of cotton that they utilized then showing that Europe didn’t introduce cotton to South America as is commonly taught. I came in through the back door… in a colectivo from Barranca so I had a nice little hike and it almost seemed I’d be out there nearly alone, but they have nice displays and tour

Fun, great view, very relaxing and you come out feeling like new but there I a lot of people, specially weekends and without masks

It was quite crowded when I went on a weekday afternoon. But they had private tubs for 5 soles. Which I decided to do. As a single traveler this place was easy to get too by foot from center of town. The water is not hot. It is luke warm, so be aware of that. They are all mostly this temperature around here. Crowds can be large. Not my type of hot spring experience I prefer to do. But it was interesting.

10 soles, private or open pool available, same price. I would make sure the pool you choose is clean. There is a stand outside, Massages, good option to complement the experience. Water is around 30 °C

Buenazoooo 10/10

I swam in the olympic pool and it was a great workout.

Bigger and hotter than "Baños de La Juventud" but as crowded as it, due to the low cost of the ticket ($1). However has several pools for general use and private environments for family or a couple. I enjoyed it a lot.

If you go early you'll find a good experience with the clear water and few people, recommended that way, ticket value is 4 soles.

Hardly any foreign tourists visiting this place but we enjoyed it. The lagoon is amazing and the guide was knowledgeable.

Great story, excelent guide!

Nice place. A must visit on Lima North Region.

Good air, nice view, excellent experience

It is worth it to visit, very well preserved place.

A really good place to know more about Bandurria civilization

One of the ancient civilization ... arround 5200 years ago.

A very beautiful, peaceful place to hike.

Breathtaking views from all angles. Not often are you able to see mountains, desert and oceans all in the same view! One of the most beautiful Parks I've been to in person

Great place to see colourful flowers. Interesting structure for collection of water from the air can be seen in the form of nets.

Intense green brush and trees swathed in shifting fog, beautiful and mysterious, completely unexpected on the desert coast. One of just a few places like this in the world. Far more lush than what people call "lomas" vegetation on the south coast. Much richer than the impression I got from textbook accounts I read years ago. Protected in the formal Lomas de Lachay reserve, but lower, less dense green vegetation extends far beyond the boundaries of the preserve. The hills outside the preseve are mostly marked out as lots for sale to build warehouses for the new Chinese port at Chancay. All that fog vegetation outside the preserve will soon be converted to industrial use, maybe imperiling the reserve as well. Visit it soon, while it is still healthy and intact.

Wonderful place, trekking for all ages, feel more close to the nature

It's a wonderful place, national park

Great hiking place 2hrs away from Lima in the north. Best time to go is since September, when the hills start to turn green. It is a like a little paradise in the middle of the dessert. You will be captivated since the minute you start approaching it from far away. Great escape from the city

This is the Disney Land of Peru. If are in Chancay, come and have some fine. Awesome staff. Lots of activities and performance.

Good things first: + Lots of variety + Lots of fun + Many things to take photos of + Some animals + Great view of the ocean + Very interesting entertainment Down sides: - Pool closed - A little too commercialized - Sometimes too crowded - Some very poor maintenance in some parts - Would be better if they hid their speaker devices in walls instead of having a huge chunky boombox with sound coming through it, in a setting intended to be historical The show with the dancers and magicians was one of the highlights for me. I also loved that I could take photos with some wild birds.

Crowded and disorderly. The building was incomplete. They had living eagles tethered to trainers so that people could have their photos taken for s/ 10, but the animals where in distress. The food at the resturant was decent and the haunted house was short but well done. This is an affordable place to take kids but I would say that it is a 4th rate attraction at best

It's a beautiful place but surrounded by the town and its buildings

Wow where do I begin...this place was just way too amazing for words. I absolutely loved it. I want to go back already! So basically through every area is a theme throughout history with actors interacting with small groups on tours throughout. Some themes include Peru, Egypt, Camelot, Aztec, Babylon, Greece, Rome, and many many more. There are too many to really remember to be honest. My favorite was Egypt. And being able to see Anubis I was just in awe. I can't obviously ever go to the real Egypt so this will be the closest I can get for now ☺️ The only major complaints I have are there is a TON of stairs...oh my gosh! I am unsure if we just missed where the elevators were to go back downstairs or if they were going for the "old castle" theme and there are none. Next time we go we are having my daughter either walk on her own or ride on our shoulders. Also we went to a beautiful restaurant and they had cats meandering around while we ate. It was kind of weird and I'm not that into cats. Make sure at least they aren't where your diners are eating at least please! Among all the attractions there you can also: *Swim: (they have a huge pool I think it's 10 soles a person to get in) take a swimming suit and change of clothes! *Shop: there are many artisan places to shop inside and souvenir shops as well. I love that about Peru, support the artisans and small business! *Eat: there are a few restaurants inside you can pay in the entrance to make a reservation. (People outside are too pushy and it freaked me out they practically swamped us in the car yelling at us with thier menu papers) *I think there is also a hotel. I would love to stay there. *Parking: it's 10 soles a day total and they only take cash (just a heads up) You can also hold a hawk for 10 soles and take pictures with it. That was so cool and it was such a pretty bird too! Overall it was a great experience. I can't wait to go back!

The castle is beautiful. I loved the decorations. Bathrooms are clean. Staff is friendly. There's even a hotel inside the castle where you can stay. Food is delicious. I highly recommend it ;)

When we first arrived it was mythical like a farey tell and there's tons of things to do for children and teenagers and adults to restaurants and great food and thay tell stories
