Chiclayo: What to see nearby?
What our travellers think of their stay
A large town located in the north of the country and at the strategic meeting point of the coast and the Amazon.
My suggestion

My suggestion
Chiclayo is famous for its excellent cuisine. Criolla dishes are the town's speciality. I highly recommend you try the Ceviche, a local Peruvian seafood favourite that merits its reputation.
