With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Trujillo, 25 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Trujillo Castle, Palace of the Marquis of the Conquest and Juan Pizarro de Orellana Palace. Locals are also likely to point you toward Merida, 40 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Roman Theatre. (But we’re also big fans of Acueducto de los Milagros and Temple of Diana.)
