Piura Travel Blogs

OK so Ecuador is done and dusted and it was a hell of a three weeks with more ups and downs than Debbie does Doncaster (The Deluxe Double D Edition). I´ll do a separate entry for some of the things I´ve missed out previously, but for now, safely over the border in Peru, I thought I´d write …

Despite the stops we arrived to Piura earlier than expected, yay! We were at the bus station around 4:30pm and our plane was leaving at 6, so we had plenty of time. Ok, now go to the airport. When my friend went to pick up his surfboard he found a non so pleasant surprise. They storaged veggies and…

About 9pm we arrived to Piura. It was already dark... Time to the last passengers to board. I was crossing my fingers, hopping nobody would sit next to me, but no luck... well, the guy seemed to be nice... we'll see.Right after we departured, they served dinner. It was a good one and then they play…

Our route through Central and South America..

Hello all,After my overnight cross-border bus, I slept until about 2pm.  Not knowing anything about Piura, I asked at the desk what there was to see.  I walked the eight blocks into the central city to check out the Parque Central.  Like most Latin American towns there was a great, m…

We stayed in a hostal close to the Bus terminal since we had to catch a bus at 7am. Got up at 6am, onto the bus and arrived in Piura at around 3pm. Not much time to do anything other than look for the next bus to take. Coming from Lima we were on a TEPSA bus with Presidential Service which was pre…

On leaving Cuenca, we had some serious travelling to do, starting with a 5 hour journey from Cuenca to Loja shortly followed by my first overnight bus ride (for another 8 hours) from Loja, going over the border into Peru to Piura.  Journey pretty uneventful although with a local tradition…
