Seaside resort a few miles from Trujillo, north of Lima
My suggestion
Go to spread out your towel at the end of the bay No buildings in sight here, you'll really be aware that you're on a beach in the middle of the desert!

During my different visits to Peru, I was lucky enough to visit three climatic zones: the sierra, the selva and the coast. The latter is very well-represented in Huanchaco. There I indulged in pure tourism.
Huaraz is the perfect departure point for excursions into both the Cordillera Blanca and the Cordillera Negra. It's in the heights of the Sierra that you will truly discover all the fantastic features that the Ancash region has to offer.
Arriving in Iquitos by air gives a foretaste of what awaits you in the dense jungle. From above, all you see is a thick forest that covers the land as far as the eye can see, where only the river and its tributaries stand out from an immense green carpet.
Located between the Selva and the Cordillera of the Andes, the Huancavélica and Cerro Pasco region will put you under its spell, with its incredible landscapes, the welcoming nature of the local inhabitants and the old traditions that are still very much alive
Having only just arrived at Puno we're drawn to Lake Titicaca! Nevertheless, it's a good idea to pay a visit to this old port town before setting off to discover the floating islands of the Urso or indeed, towards the calm and peaceful Amantani and Taquile.
