June 14th - June 18th, 2007
I caught a flight from Iquitos to Lima and then slept in airport until my early morning flight.
I spent a couple of days relaxing in Trujillo where I visited Chan Chan, a pre-Colombian city and archeological site. Then last few days in a small coastal village of Huanchaco. Nice beaches. The fisherman here still use reed boats to fish in the ocean. The boats are called cabillitos de tortora. Cabillitos means "little horse". Fisherman kneel on them rather than ride in them. Nice to just relax without trying to see too many sights. I leave on the bus from Truijillo at 11 pm and will arrive in Lima at 8 am. Then taxi to Airport and flight home at 2:30 pm. Good trip.
