A crazy wild adventure to known and unknown places. Two young lovers with nothing better to do than travel a vast continent.

Mancorá - Damn these tourist towns

In search of our perfect beach town, we arrived in Mancora and were pretty dissapointed. It was simply touristy, and some Peruvians there were out to rip us off (tourist = money tree!). Since that kind of place  is not our style, we walked around the beach, held hands, ate, slept, and got the hell out of there, to a town 100 kms. north. Good riddance!

yes, it is right..I am from Peru..and certainly don't like Mancora, Colan, in Piura as well, is one of the best beaches in the north of Peru. Punta Sal, just 20 min from Mancora, is also a better option.
