To Trujillo is known as the "City of Eternal Spring", "National Marinera Capital" and "Culture Capital of Peru", epithet won by the considerable amount of cultural events of national and international taking place in the city, among which, the "National Contest of Marinera", the "International Festival of Spring and the" International Book Fair, which is among one of the most important cultural events the country.

Currently, Chiclayo is one of the most important urban areas of Peru. It has grown to become the country's fourth largest city after Lima, Arequipa, and Trujillo.  Additionally, the city is very commercialized and has many modern characteristics as well as being known as one of the friendliest cities in Peru. Because of this attribute, Chiclayo is known as The Capital of Friendship and the Pearl of the North. 

The city's geographical location has determined its isolation until recently, when better roads were constructed between Chachapoyas and the cities of the northern Peruvian coast. Chachapoyas is unique for its climate and mountain range scenery. One of the peculiarities of this scenery are its extensive and matted wooded formations. During the rainy season, these formations are covered with a thick haze, from which the city's name may be derived (from the Quechua word: sachapuyos, meaning "mount of haze"). Another interpretation of the name Chachapoyas is the one that alludes its meaning of "strong male". This meaning was reaffirmed by the courage of those who faced Tupac Inca Yupanqui and his 40 thousand soldiers with tenacious resistance
