Chiclayo was just a short stop over and once again not much to do in this city. We got off the bus and asked a taxi to take us to a hostel the Lonely Planet suggested. We spent the next few minutes in the taxi on the way to a hostel arguing with the driver because he wanted to take us to another hostel. We ended up at the hostel of his choice due to the fact he was driving, luckily it was a one minute walk to the one we wanted. We begrudgingly paid the fair after...

We left Mancora thinking we would spend a few more nights on a beach 15 mins away called Los Organos so we got the bus there and it was feral so we got the next bus out of there to the only place this bus company went to called Piura. Pirua is a small transport town it was in the Lonley Planet so we kinda had an idea what we were getting into. We found a cheap hostel in the center which was nice and we just had a nice evening with pizzas and beers.The next day we...

Mancora is in very north Peru and is one of the best beaches and busiest beaches in Peru.We arrived at 6am and with no accommodation booked we got sucked into getting a random tuk tuk from there to a hostel of his.

The place was crap but c...

We got the day bus from Lima to Trujillo about 10 hours and the bus was amazing it was VIP better than Business Class in a plane. We got fed and there were amazing recliners. Straight away from Trujillo we got a taxi to Huanchaco which is a small fishing/surfing village about 12kms away.We just picked any hostel form the Lonley Planet and turned out to be a beauty. Only $40 soles a night for a great room with own bathroom. The owner is a very eccentric Scotsman. ...

Lima is the capital of Peru and really was just a big city. We kinda wasted a week there but it was nice knowing that we have plenty of time in Peru so we could just take our time.We checked out some markets on the 1st day which sold everything imaginabale but we were just looking for shoes for me as my trainers were screwed. It was very over whelming with about 100 shoe shops all selling the same stuff. Finally got a pair after 4 hours luckly Junior loves shoes ...
