La Libertad is the only Peruvian region that reaches all three Peruvian natural regions (coast, Sierra (highlands) and rainforest).
Trujillo, the capital of the La Libertad Region, has a great geographical importance and a good location. It is the point where the Andes are linked to the Pacific Ocean, as a result of the direction the coasts follow. The Andes form the world's longest exposed Mountain range. They lie as a continuous chain of highland along the western coast of South America. The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the Earth 's Oceanic divisions The Andes first are seen from Trujillo, showing a row of low-elevation hills, but from there on the Andean Plateau increases altitude sharply to the East, in the provinces of Otuzco and Santiago de Chuco.

Archaeology
The coastal strip set the stage for the rise of many pre-Columbian cultures, such as the pre-Ceramic Huaca Prieta civilization, which is more than 5,000 years old & the Cupisnique, which is more than 3,000 years old. From 200 A. C. , the first one to expand beyond its cradle was the Moche or Mochica culture. The Moche civilization (alternately the Mochica culture Early Chimu Pre-Chimu Proto-Chimu etc It was basically an agriculture and/or a warrior culture, which built countless temples and palaces such as the Sol (Sun), Luna (Moon), El Brujo & Cao Viejo, and other huacas. The Huaca del Sol is an Adobe brick temple built by the Moche civilization on the coast of what is now Peru. In Quechua, a Native American language of South America, a huaca or wak'a is an object that represents something revered typically a monument The Chimú culture emerged later and built its capital in Chan Chan, the largest pre-Columbian city in South America, & huacas like Esmeralda & Arco Iris (Rainbow).
