PERU'S ANCIENT WONDERS

The coast of Peru is an arid desert, while the interior is lush and fertile.













Our first stop was Trujillo. We spent the day touring ruins of villages and temples built by tribes that were eventually conquered by the Incas.  The largest city in the New World built entirely of mud has much of it still standing. 

Built about 500 A.D. by the Mochica peoples.



We had our first taste of Peruvian food at a hacienda where we lunched and enjoyed a Paso Horse Show and traditional dancing.

  2. It was amazing how flimsy the boards were.
