Hotels near Walter Braedt Segú Airport - PTL, Máncora

Nice place, but we expected a bit more of the surrounding areas. To start with, we had to ride 3 hours from Piura to get to Mancora, and once there, another ride of 20 minutes over a very uneven road.

Mancora is a charming little surf town. I only experienced it during the day, but it looks like it heats up after dark and can be a real party place. Pretty much every meal I had at a restaurant was delicious. The town is walkable but there are tuc-tucs available at your beck and call. The beach is large and expansive and the water nice and warm. I arrived in Mancora via Talara; I flew from Lima to Talara, took a cab to the Eppo bus station (10 soles), and took the bus to Mancora (7.50 soles). The bus journey is around 1hr 45min. I bought my return bus ticket in town the night before my return flight. It was all reasonably easy!

Mancora is an OK city on the shoreline of the North coast of Peru. Too many Venezuelan refugees now and pick pockets, few policemen visible on the streets/patrolling. Not the tourist paradise anymore as before. Not safe and clean enough. Restaurants ok in general but few good ones. Better to spend 1-2 days there as a group. And go for the day tours to other places! Better go to Paracas instead! Safer and cleaner with better food and beaches ⛱️

Visited Mancora 3 times in different months. During the holidays, better stay way! Beaches crowded, bad service in the restaurants and terrible transportation options. If you have chance, better visit from August to November. Recommend Los Órganos and Vichayito beach!

Mancora is chaotic, public spaces are ill kept, roads are calamitous. It is rather noisy, and city planning is something unheard of. Having said that, the town is colourful, and people are lovely, always with a smile and mild mannered. The food is great wherever you go, and there are several lovely areas by the beach. To the south of Mancora you can find perfection: all the buildings are fantastic and there are fewer people and noise. Maybe staying in the south (playa las pocitas and further south) and visiting the north is the right combination?

We were right on the beach. So it was nice to relax by the sound of waves. Nice for the long walk on the beach in the morning when sun is not too strong. Restaurants and small coffee houses were not so close to the place we were staying on the beach. But we rented a car so it was easy to get to the town. The best place to eat was Chef Benites in The Mercado on the second floor. Food was very good and the price even better. Mancora is small town so it is easy to get around. I like beaches where we can swim, snorkel. And the beach in Mancora is not suitable for it. So I would probably not come here again.
