Lima to Mancora Peru...How long of a drive? |
How long would it take to drive from Lima, Peru to Mancora, Peru? Also, to any locals or people familiar with the area, do you recommend it for surfing? Are there other areas that you recommend for surfing? I have 7 days and im looking for a low key place where the surf is good, food is good, and I can do a bit of exploring. |

If you come from October thru March I would definitively recomend going to Mancora for it's surfing season in northern Peru. If you rent a car I would also recomend taking off from Lima at 5:00 am because it could take more than an hour just to get out of the city.
If you take along your breakfast and only stop to get gas you should arrive at Trujillo for lunch easily (around 1:00 pm). then head north and you'll get to Mancora around 7:00 pm
In Trujillo You have 3 good surf spots:
HUANCHACO BEACH (great food and lodging)
CHICAMA (cheap lodging, the longest left in the world, but don't trust the locals it's better to hang out with people from Lima or foreigners)
POEMAPE an abandoned town 45 minutes north from Chicama, you can make it in 15 minutes on a low tide otherwise you have to go to the panamerican highway. You can take great picture shots for it breaks in front of a elevated shore
A bit further to the north you have Chiclayo, there you can surf EL FARO after that the highway goes inland thru the desert of Sechura and doesn't get to the ocean until you get to Talara just before reaching Mancora.
Places to surf around Mancora: CABO BLANCO, PANIC POINT, ORGANOS and MANCORA |

The trip from Lima to Mancora is very very long...about 18 hrs by bus...but the road (the famous Panamericana) is in good condition and the panorama is amazing, in the Noth of PerĂ¹ you can find some of the best place to surf...as Chicama for example, and many others, you can see all in the link below

Mancora has great surf and is full of locals who love to party. Huanchaco has the best food though, in my opinion. Amaazing ceviche.
Oh and don't listen to Unity. I found the buses to be extremely clean and safe. Airline tickets are expensive! |

I would not recommend driving or taking a bus. It could be dangerous. Plane tickets are pretty cheap there. |
