Day 32 Friday, April 5th Mancora, Peru to Guayaquil, Ecuador.

We are sad to leave Las Olas, Mancora. This has been a great three night stay. Great hosts, s150/night (about US$57) and room 14 was great with its private balcony overlooking the ocean. Plenty of hot water, room made up every day. This is also the best part of town. Mancora is being developed further south with new hotels spread along the coast. The beach isn’t so good there, it’s further from town and lacks character.

We are talking about using Mancora as a future destination vacation spot-it provides hop-off points to Guayaquil (9 hr. overnight bus ride $24pp including a fully reclining seat/bed (cama)) from where you can get flights to the Galapagos.

We have booked our bus seats for the 9.00pm departure tonight to Guayaquil, Ecuador. We’ll have dinner at our favourite restaurant, Sirena, before we leave town.
