We visited several sites in the historic center of Trujillo, Peru - located on the North Coast.
Darrell and Lanny Scholes are listening to our guide - Miguel.
Downtown Trujillo retains much of its colonial influences in its architecture. Wooden balconies are a fashionable addition to the home. The coverings allowed the people inside to see out but not be seen, during the colonial age.
We also saw: Iglesia la Merced (Catholic Church) - built in 1636. The church suffered great damage in 1970 by an earthquake. Peru as well as the western coast of South America is a very active earthquake region.
