We day bussed it to Guayaquil, a large southern city in Ecuador, which was our connecting city to cross the boarder into Peru. This overnight bus was brutal having to wake up at 2 am to go through customs...i was eaten alive by mosquitoes.
Mancora, Peru, our first stop, was a great northern beach town. My tan started to get descent by this point. We stayed in a great new hostel with large accommodations, Sebas. The left hand point break is a solid wave, and the surfboard rentals were super cheap. Much more laid back than Mantanita and really friendly locals. Pisco sours are the official drink of Peru and we had no troubles exploring those lime filled refreshments.
The mud bath slash hot spring was an adventure. We took a four person three wheeled motorcycle taxi up into the hills. I only had to get out of the cart three times to make it up the steep sections. The papaya orchard and arid landscape made for a fun ambience. The mud bath was a warm wood lined pool maybe 20x8 feet. Permanently stained boardshorts was well worth the experience.
