🇵🇪 Mancora, Peru: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

on my travels in Mancora Peru ill show you the the good spots, what to do whilst you are here, the hotels and prices you can expect to pay, the surf spot and also good restaurants and coffee shops. As always there is trouble in paradise so ill shine a light on some of the bad things (health and safety isn't much of a concern here). Also there are downright ugly parts of Mancora, from abandoned hotels to the broken down promenade.

This was a great deep dive into Mancora...I'm heading to Peru later this summer (aka Peruvian winter) and was looking for a decent-sized beach town with various entertainment and food options. From one travelogue guy to another, great job indeed!
Cheers from Canada!

Several storm surge the last years has destroyed the promenade and some of the owners abandoned hotels. It is been having the last years. This abnormal rise in seawater had 3 to 5 meters high. Also floods from El Niño during 2023. Mancora is losing its splendor back 10 years ago. Where are you now in Peru ?

[@AronXplores]

AHH thank you for all that information. It certainly doesn't look like it recently happened. It's a shame as it ruins the vibe. I think they should at least get rid of the sharp metal rods sticking out. Very dangerous for kids playing on the beach. But apart from that I liked Mancora, I'm no longer in Peru.

@@AronXplores All that promenade is in an incorrect place. Should be demolished completely. Probaby sooner than later some hotels are going to be taking back by mother nature. Here in Lima we did a great job depositing all the rocks from excavations onto the shore, Costa Verde. Take a look to Costa Verde 100 years ago, and how it is now. Costa Verde is 100% man-made. Did you visit some others places in Peru ?
