SALAVERRY (TRUJILLO) PERU
When we woke up this morning we were docked in Salaverry Peru. Salaverry is the harbour area approximate 1/2hr outside Trujillo. Salaverry looked much like a lower income neigbourhood. After breakfast we took a shuttle into Trujillo a city of approximate 3 million. We were dropped of near city center. Soon as we departed the bus we were bombarded by local vendors and taxi cab drivers. After we escaped all these venders we walked towards downtown. There was a very beautifull plaza downtown lined with historic buildings. We visited an old Church from the 16th century. After we done a whole bunch more walking we headed back to the bus pickup spot. One interesting thing I noticed that they have scotia banks in Peru. We went in one to exchange some money. By walking around you definitely notice that you are in a different part of the world. The traffic is just insane. I don’t think I would want to drive here. Another interesting fact is that it almost never rains in Trujillo .2 Inch for the whole year.
