| + | ===== Off to Piura ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The northern coast consists of the eastern region of Lambayeque, the Piura Region and the Tumbes Region. They are characterized by having different climate and geography from the rest of the coast. Right between the 3 hour drive on the Sechura desert, which is located north of the Lambayeque Region and south of the Piura Region, is the evidence of climate change from the common subtropical desert found on the south to visible tropicalization effects of the tropical dry climate or tropical savanna. Examples of this are the tropical dry forests that begin to appear. They are composed of shrubs, thorny trees, carrob trees, faique trees, huayacan trees, hualtaco trees, palo santo trees, ceibo trees and on the coast mangrove forests. It is also a biodiverse area where typical wildlife can be observed such as crocodiles, reptiles, iguanas, boas, pava aliblanca, anteater, bear, sloth (bearh) and many more. | ||

| + | ===== Buses Peru 2 Ecuador ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | | ||

| + | |||
| + | (also in English), are certainly one of the better bus companies in Peru, though you do pay a premium for their service. I think many of their buses also have free Wi-Fi on board, which would be handy with it being such a long journey and you'll be fine leaving your bags with them. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Another option (which will work out at least 50 soles cheaper for cama service) is to do the journey in two legs over two nights. First catching a night bus Lima - Trujillo 8-9 hours, then spend the day looking round Trujillo or chill on the beach in neighboring Huanchaco and then catch another night bus from Trujillo to Tumbes which is around 10-11 hours. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Lima - Trujillo: there are plenty of companies plying this route with Movil Tours (www.moviltours.com) being one of the better options, you can get a cama service for 40-50 soles. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Trujillo - Tumbes: Transportes Emtrafesa and Transportes El Dorado both offer a couple of night services, 35 soles semi-cama or 45 soles cama. | ||
| + | |||
| + | www.transporteseldorado.com.pe | ||
| + | |||
| + | Another company worth looking at is Transportes Ormeno ( | ||
| + | |||
| + | www.grupo-ormeno.com.pe | ||
| + | |||
| + | ) who provide a service from Lima to the Equadorian Capital. | ||
