On the coast north of Trujillo lies a small fishing village and summer time surfers playground of a town called Huanchaco. Josh and I stayed in a fantastic hostel, Naylamp. The room and bedding were clean, towels and soap were provided and wi-fi reached our room! We were on the second floor and had a lovely ocean view along with cable TV! Not only was the room a class above the hostels we had been staying in in Lima and Cusco, but the price was much lower.
Beyond the hostel walls, the beach was quite nice itself. The sand is a color of gray and the water a pleasant blue. It's no carribean, but hearing about the snowstorms that all of my family and friends are enduring, we have to room to complain! The first day we soaked up the sun. The next couple days we visited the local market and ate some fresh ceviche and watched some good cable tv, as the sun chose not to show it's face.
One thing that makes Huanchaco unique is the reed boat that are still made and used by the local fishermen. A picture of them is shown here.
