Crossing the border to Peru through the coast can be a difficult route however we made it through safely. We arrived late at night but the city was alive with music, bars, clubs and people eager to party. If you've heard about Mancora, then you've heard about the hippies and the surfers. That's exactly how it is but we must admit it was pretty awesome. The first night we stayed at one of the only "hospedaje" with availability. We quickly learned that was a mistake when the next morning we awoke with the smell of sewage and our room filled with shitty water. You can guess the rest. After such a harrowing experience (of course we're exagerrating) we decided to treat ourselves to a beach front hotel called Las Ojas. With an ocean view balcony, tv, fresh linen and hot water, it was hard to resist staying another night. We're happy to be in Peru downing Pisco sours and eating fresh ceviche.
