Salaverry is the central port for the area around Trujillo in Peru. Trujillo is located on the northern coast of Peru, with almost 800,000 people and is known for its precolombian ruins in Chan Chan, Huaca del Sol and Huaca de la Luna. It has many Spanish buildings that date more than four hundred years ago.

Huanchaco is located at 10 minutes from Trujillo and has the best known surfing waves in the South Pacific. It is visited by thousands of tourists because of nearby Chan Chan, the largest clay city in the world, built by the Mochican centuries before the Inca empire.
