Statua Antropofica

The Statua Antropofica is a sculpture located in the Plaza de Armas, the central square of Trujillo's historic district. Travelers visit this site to view the artwork and observe the surrounding colonial architecture, including the city hall and the cathedral.

Location and Access

The sculpture is situated directly within the city centre. Because it is located in the main plaza, it is accessible by foot from most central hotels and landmarks. No transit time is required if you are already staying in the downtown area.

Since the sculpture is an outdoor public monument, visitors typically spend 15 to 30 minutes viewing the piece and the immediate surroundings of the square.
