Field notes

Peru's third city, three hours up the coast from Chimbote — sunnier and drier than Lima, with no real garúa. Centro and the Huanchaco beach belt are the two main anchors. Same Peru DNV applies as Lima. Trujillo is the access point for Chan Chan and the northern surf coast.

Drier and sunnier than Lima — Trujillo sits beyond the worst of the garúa belt. Almost no rain year-round. Summer (December–April) is warm and bright (22–24°C); winter (June–September) is cooler and partially overcast (17–18°C) but without Lima's persistent gloom.
