The Cathedral of Trujillo (Peru)

Photo: Plaza de Armas in Trujillo, Peru

This is the beautiful cathedral in Trujillo, it is at the main square (”Plaze de Armas”), which is located on the right side of (or more outside) the photo. Yeah, I know this is a typical tourist shot, but the colors are so lovely ;)

Chan Chan - A Pre-Columbian City near Trujillo (Peru)

When I was doing my internship at Minka Peru in Trujillo, a friend of mine showed me Chan Chan. Chan Chan is the largest Pre-Columbian city in South America. Some of the pictures below give you an impression how big this city was. I was pretty amazed by the ornaments on the walls, the museum and surrounding sites are also very interesting. We did a lot of great pictures there and had a lot of fun.
