Did You Know?
Chan Chan, beside Trujillo, covered roughly 20 square kilometres and was the largest mud-brick city in the world, capital of the Chimú from around AD 900. Rain is its main threat; the site survives because this coast almost never gets any.
The clock: Trujillo keeps UTC−5. Peru's Marinera dance festival is held here each January and the city calls itself the country's capital of culture.
