VEGETARIAN FOOD

The vegetarian practice has different subgroups, so it is important decide what to stop eating: there are lacto-ovo vegetarians, who consume animal protein from eggs, milk and derivatives; and people who dont eat products derived from animals, known as vegans; who have a philosophy of life more strict. Although critics of vegetarianism say that lack of meat in the diet can be harmful to health, recent researches at the University of Loma Linda (California) shows that people who eat more vegetables, can live up to eight years longer than those who consume animal protein.

WHY WE CREATED THIS BLOG?

The idea for this blog was at first to make people known the main touristic sites of Trujillo however as days passed by we realized that our goal would be too simple. Trujillo is a wonderful city with may things to offer to the world, so we decided that it would be better to create a blog not only about the main touristic sites of Trujillo but show all the wonderful places Trujillo can offer to the world.

Trujillo is the second largest city in Peru and its population is almost 900 000 inhabitants. Its economy is based mainly on the production of sugar cane, artichokes and asparagus.Trujillo was founded in 1534 among 4 Chimu settlements to enable the Spanish to ally with them against the Incas. Due to its geographic location it is also known for its seafood and the beaches of its famous surf and beach resort Huanchaco. Its design and planning was done according to the Spanish custom, with the main square as the central point.

The first buildings were from Renaissance stye, however, the earthquake of 1619 destroyed most of the city that's the reason why  the architecture was renovated in the Baroque style.

The architecture had a great change after the Independence and the city was changed to the neo-classical style, with large iron windows.

The Temples of the Sun and Moon are located at only 5 kilometers south of Trujillo; they were considered the ancient Capital of Culture Moche. The other historic icon of Trujillo is Chan Chan, the World's Largest City of Clay, capital of the Chimu Kingdom. It occupies an area of 14 square kilometers and visit only one of the nine palaces that form.

Last but not least, you can also visit  the fishing village of Huanchaco, where you can see the fragile reed watercrafts called 'caballitos de totora' ('little reed horses' in English) that are used by local fishermen, descendants and heirs of this ancient fishing tradition. Fishermen still use these vessels to this day, riding the waves back into shore, and suggesting some of the first forms of wave riding. There is currently a minor debate in the surfing world as to whether or not this constitutes the first form of surfing.

Official taxis are yellow with post card sized municipal stickers of the city's coat of arms on the windscreen, and also the majority have the telephone number of its enterprise. They may have a surprising array of tactics to take you to more distant, expensive, isolated hotels and destinations to monopolize your future custom. If they see you are not stingy they may drop you off near the terminal to return to find more lucrative passengers. A taxi should not cost more than US$1 to US$1.50 from any bus terminal to Trujillo, or US$4 to Huanchaco. Taxi drivers prefer to go to Huanchaco as there are more opportunities for overcharging, & obtaining a return trip. A taxi should not cost more than US$5 from the airport to Trujillo or Huanchaco. Taxis may charge US$5 per hour around the urban part of the Province of Trujillo, more reliable and expensive taxis drivers are required for greater distances than 15km from Trujillo centre. There are no more than 13,000 taxis formally registered in the Province of Trujillo.
