  Study Abroad Destination Information

Trujillo, Huaraz and Casma Peru
 
 
 

Overview
In Trujillo, spring is eternal. The sun always shines, filling even the most secluded corners of the capital of the department of La Libertad with light. This light brightens the spirit of an affable and cordial people, who live proud of their adobe citadels built by the Chimus and Mochicas; their stately mansions, heritage of colonial times and the beginnings of the Republic; and of the 'marinera', the national dance of Peru, a whirl of sensuality and gallantry from which love is born.

In Huaraz you have the CORDILLERA BLANCA
Natural Heritage of Peru
Established in 1975, the Parque Nacional Huascarán contains all the Cordillera Blanca (with the exception of the distant Nevado Champará in its extreme north), the highest range of the Peruvian Andes and the highest range in the world's tropical zone. Its total area is approximately 1300 square miles (340,000 hectares), roughly 110 miles (180 km) north-south, and an average of only 12 miles (20 kin) east-west. Within its boundaries are thirty mountains above 6000 meters (19686 ft) above sea level (fifteen are above 20,000 feet, 6096 meters), crowned by Nevado Huascarán itself at 22205 feet (6768 m). ("Nevado" means snow-covered peak.) There are another thirty peaks above 18500 feet (5640 in), as well as hundreds of glacial lakes, rivers, and waterfalls, and an abundance of flora and fauna.

In Casma you wil have most of the year the sunthis is why the poeple call casma the city of the eternal sun, and the weather is warm most of the year, and in the summer you can enjoy the beach called tortugas that is very close of casma.
