These are taken from our deck. The best way to find long-term housing is not the viva mancora website, but rather through word of mouth. Ask the locals in cafes, hotels, and boutiques if they know of anything available. There is a place called Kom Tiki that has cute bungalows on top of a giant hill with spectacular views that run around $200 per month. Our house, right on the beach was $325 and we think we got an incredible deal.

The cute guy and the puppy are not included in the price unfortunately.

July 15th through August 15th Mancora is full of wealthy vacationers from Lima. It makes the beach a little too crowded for my taste, but...
with the bad comes the good.
The blue building is The Bird House and the upstairs is a restaurant called Green Eggs and Ham with the best breakfast in town by far. You can get eggs, bacon, home fries and coffee for 15 soles, and they also have delicious pancakes, waffles, and fruit salad. 
This is the mexican place called Aji. It's very good, but know that the beans are incredibly sweet. They are practically caramelized. If you are not a fan of that, stay away from the giant burritos and try the tacos or enchiladas instead.
Hotel Casablanca - best deal in town. Tv, wifi, mini fridge, 40 soles per night for a couple. The convenience store right next to it is called Zoom and has the best selection of food besides Marlon, the grocery store.
Downtown Mancora. That's it!

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteI was just wondering if you remember the contact information for the beach house you rented in Mancora. My husband and I plan to go there next week and we are looking to rent a place on the beach.
Thank you,
