  What else to do in and around Huanchaco:
  
  Huanchaco offers a good surf each day. If the swell is too big and so the current too strong, best is to make an one hour trip to Chicama, world´s longest left wave!
  
  If you want to learn Spanish and take some Spanish classes, we work together with a language school in Huanchaco.
  
  Enjoy delicious Peruvian food in Huanchaco! Huanchaco is famous for its Ceviche, a raw fish and seafood dish!
  
  If you prefer to cook yourself, in the market 2 blocks away from the hostal, you can get any fresh fruit you can imagine, all different kinds of fresh vegetables and of course fresh fish! There is also a big supermarket in the mall 20 minutes from Huanchaco, heading towards Trujillo, Perus 3rd biggest city. In the mall you can even find a cinema!
  
  Enjoy a wonderful view over Huanchaco and its coastline or an amazing sunset from its church Santuario Virgen del Socorro, Peru´s second Christian church.
  
  Get to know more about Huanchaco´s reed boats, the "Caballitos de Totora". You can even have a ride on them!
  
  If you are interested in Peru´s culture, visit the famous archaeological sites of the pre-Columbian cultures of the Chimus and Moches:
  - Chan- Chan, capital of the Chimu culture is the biggest adobe city of the world, 15 minutes from Huanchaco by car.
  - Huaca de la Luna y del Sol are adobe temples from the Moche culture with well preserved, colorful murals, 4 km outside of Trujillo.
