I got a night bus to Huanchaco, which is another small beachside town further down the coast from Mancora. When I say small I mean you could walk from once side of the town to the other in around 15 minutes! It had 1 bakery, 1 supermarket but about 40 restaurants/cafes! I only spent 1 night (48 hours) in Huanchaco before getting another night bus in Trujillo to Lima (the Capital of Peru).
After breakfast a few of us spent the day at a local beach club in Huanchaco as the beach itself was far too windy to lie on. I tried to go into the sea but it was quite rough and probably left best to the professional surfers! We played beach volley ball and I even managed to fit in a beach run before spending the next day in the centre of Trujillo. We paid a visit to Chan Chan which was around a 10 minute bus ride from the hostel and is an Inca ruin. There is about 40 Inca ruins all over Peru but the main one of course being Machu Picchu.
Trujillo wasn’t really anything to rave about, spending the afternoon there was more than enough time! The town seemed strangely quiet and there wasn’t many tourists. I wondered around the main square and the centre of the city before having dinner and getting on the 10 hour night bus to Lima.
