Beach in Mancora

Mancora

We left Piura on Thursday morning to spend the weekend in Mancora. We stayed at the beach for three days and returned to Piura on Saturday night. We enjoyed swimming in the Pacific, riding horses along the beach, eating authentic Peruvian meals, and laying out in the sun. Despite being eaten alive by mosquitoes on the first night, we enjoyed the beach so much that we decided to stay a second night. We found an incredible hostel with beautiful rooms, restaurants, and Australian tourists! As you can see from the pictures below, Mancora definitely lived up to its reputation as the most beautiful beach in Peru!
