The old and traditional city of Trujillo, in La Libertad Region (in northern Peru), has been scenario of almost 400 artistic and cultural shows so far this year, reported David Calderon, the municipal sub-manager of Education and Culture.

He remarked that these events have took place in locations like La Esperanza, Florencia de Mora, El Porvenir, and Victor Larco, which involve more citizens.

“Once a month we carry out this kind of decentralization of the culture that is gaining more space taking the best of the art from Trujillo to the districts,” he said.

More shows are expected in the next months; the most outstanding ones are one brought from India and another from Korea.

Calderon also announced a five days fund-raising concert in the municipal theater, leaded by the Peruvian singer Gianmarco, for a benefit campaign to help children with poliomyelitis.

Trujillo is a city which no tourist should miss- people are very friendly - there is a lot of culture here- and very good food, nice beaches  too.

C. Schmidt,

We agree on that. Trujillo is a wonderful city and don't miss Huanchaco either.
