Chiclayo�e city of friendship

What is Chiclayo?Peru's fourth largest city, Chiclayo is the capital of the Lam-bayeque region. A sunny and warm climate with fresh ocean breezes embraces a geography including impres-sive mountains and expansive beautiful beaches with spectacular waves.

It is a land of legendary ancient civilizations and a wealthy colonial society re�ected in its majestic and traditional constructions...

The city of Chiclayo is well known for its delicious seafood specialties, colonial architectures and archaeological sites, although it is the surrounding area's impressive archeo-logical sites and ruins which undoubtedly brings the most

Location

Chiclayo located on the northern coastal plain of Peru. It is 95 feet above sea level.

This city is 12 hours away from the capital city of Peru, Lima (or 763.35 km away).

Lambayeque

Chiclayo

�e

Chiclayo is one of the liveliest Cities in northern Peru with a population of around 970,000. Perhaps the better Lima being big enough to have supermarkets and still small enough to be manageable without hours spend in city busses. The plazas like Parque Principal or Plazuela Elias Aguirre buzz with life even after sunset.

Chiclayo is full of Tico taxis. Short journeys cost PES/3. A station would be better if less easy to �nd to go to Sipan, Ferreñafe, Lambayeque or the beaches PES/15, or Tucume PES/20. Moto taxis cost half the price, are better ventilated, but give less protection.

I have been here for two weeks and it has been such a great time. I am very happy with my family and thanks to them and all of you guys I felt at home here from the �rst moment on. The thought of leaving after the two month makes me sad already.
