Lima to the North
From Lima, Peru we travelled North on a 12 hour bus ride to the town of Chiclayo. City actually as it has about half a million inhabitants. A combination of taxis, motorcycles, moto-taxis and new chinese cars seem to be the main means of transportation. Plus the combis which are a small van designed for 10 passengers but usually holding 20. Rates are best in the combis at about $1US for a 30 minutes ride for two.
The overnight bus has full flat seats so
was more in the style of a first class airline ticket than a USA bus. Two small meals and a hostel-hotel next to the civic center park. Earlier in the 1900s a number of antiquities of gold and silver started showing up on the market here prompting a little research to determine that what was thought to be just another hill was actually a 1500 year old burial mound. Digs and Museum followed. Same scenerio appeared in city of Trujillo which we visited a couple days later.
After a couple days in Trujillo another overnight bus to Lima, then down the coast to Pacarus, Peru.
