Piura is one of the most ancient colonial cities in Peru. It was founded in 1532 and it has changed its location three times but it finally arrives to its actually location in the North. Piura is also the capital of the department with the same name, where there are approximately 3000.000 citizens. Piura is a very important commercial place where you will really appreciate the surrounding cities by their food and their handicrafts especially Catacaos.
