Owned and run by an Italian, a little bit hard to find so ask for directions. It's near two very good cevicherias, one called Las Gemilitas and the other Meche, I think. All three worth trying out.

The only apartments that we could find in Mancora for two. All the other places to hire were big houses for 10 people or more. This is a great place with a pool, apartments for two and four, a restaurant if you want it, but kitchens in all the apartments.

If you are on route from Peru to Ecuador or vice versa, this is a great beach place to visit for a few down days.

It is sunny, there is accommdation on the beach and there is a chilled out vibe. Don't make a special trip to visit though as it's not beautiful.

2 hours from Piura and 2 hours from Tumbes on the coast.

If you get tired of Peru's never-ending old ruins and the coldness of the Andes, and dream of a nice beach, Máncora is the place to go.

Situated near the border of Ecuador at the northern corner of the country, this small beach resort is ideal for budget travelers. Big luxury hotels and restaurants haven't yet arrived here.

Instead, you will find nice, friendly small hotels, bars, many seafood restaurants, a vegetarian restaurant, and half a dozen souvenier shops.

This, Peru's best beach resort, is popular with surfers. You can hire a surf or body board, enjoy jumping in the waves of the Pacific Ocean, or just enjoy the sun on the beach. The busiest surfing months are November and February. Outside these months the place can be tranquil and room rates negotiable.

There are daily night buses from Lima to Máncora.
