Chiclayo Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Disintigrating pier, heading for infinity Disintigrating pier, heading for infinity joosts Chiclayo is an important town on the northern coast, founded in the 1560-ies by a Spanish priest. About 400 000 people live here. It is busy place and an economically important town. As a tourist attraction, the city itself hasn't got much to offer, besides a nice Plaza de Armas, a huge market area and a cinema. The reason to come to Chiclayo, is the Bruening Archaeological Museum which exhibits the unique pieces found in the Piramid of Sipan. The museum is located in Lambayeque which is just 11 km north of Chiclayo. From the outside it's incredibly ugly, but as they say, it's the inside that counts. Nearby beaches are attractive, with the two coastal towns of Santa Rosa and Pimentel you can reach for just one sol. If you're lucky you can see ancient Inca technology in action, as the fishermen use the same little cane boats used in Lake Titicaca. _______Sights Edit This It's so ugly you just have to take a picture It's so ugly you just have to take a picture joosts Most guidebooks emphasize there isn't much of anything to do in Chiclayo. It's a very usefull city, and that's it. Still, the Plaza de Armas is a nice place, although it lacks colonial splendour. The Mercado Modelo and the market area in general are nice places to hang around. If you arrive here from the middle of the jungle it's paradise though: supermarkets, shops, even a cinema! The most important museum of Chiclayo isn't even in Chiclayo but in Lambayeque. Other atractions of the city are it's beaches.

Contributors May 10, 2006 new by joosts (2 points) [Add Beach] Santa Rosa Edit This Girls on the beach Girls on the beach photo by: joosts Santa Rosa has little or no touristic infrastructure. It's a fishing village and nothing more. The beach is a shipyard, with dozens of boats laying about being renovated. Cane rafts abound. At the entrance of the village coming from Pimentel, there is a fish processing factory, which you can just walk into -- if you can stand a whole lot of people staring at you like you're a bit of an alien. World66 rating: [rate it] Pimentel Edit This Disintigrating pier, heading for infinity Disintigrating pier, heading for infinity photo by: joosts This village has an attractive beach, with sufficient touristic infrastructure to keep you happy. Quite a few rich people have appartments here, gining it a feel remotely similar to Blankenberge. There are plenty of bars and restaurants. A slowely disintegrating pier that has a train rail adds a bit of mystique when it's foggy. Boats float about, further asea. Cane boats lay on the beaches waiting for their fisherman. Santa Rosa is near enough to walk there, but watch out for the sun! World66 rating: [rate it]
