About Centro Historico

The Centro Historico is Trujillo's celebrated colonial heart, a grid of pastel mansions, wrought-iron balconies and churches radiating from one of Peru's grandest Plazas de Armas. It is the city's cultural and commercial nucleus, home to universities, the marinera dance festival and dense pedestrian activity that keeps demand steady year-round. For investors, the center pairs character with cash flow. Entry prices sit near USD 900-1,100 per square meter, and strong tenant demand from students, professionals and short-stay visitors supports gross yields around 7%. Older casonas can be repositioned as apartments or guesthouses, though some carry heritage constraints. With deep rental demand and central-coast safety from border rules, it offers a rare blend of yield and liquidity.
