Tumbes is only 30 minutes from the border, once you get your passport stamped you can either take a minivan or taxi over.

You can stay in the city at http://www.costadelsolperu.com/peru/hotels/tumbes/

Or you can also stay nearby in Zorritos, 35 minutes from Tumbes: http://www.puntapico.com/index.html

Onward towards Peru: Many travelers find themselves in Cuenca as their last stop in Ecuador before heading to Peru. The fastest way to get to Peru is via Huaquillas and into Tumbes. At Cuenca's Terminal Terrestre there is a company called Pullman Sucre that will sell you a ticket to Tumbes, Mancora or Piura. The journey is fairly simple and involves the following: First 5 or so hours on a Pullman bus until Huaquillas where the bus will stop by the highway at the Ecuadorian immigration point to get your Exit stamp. Since this is the end of the journey on the first bus you will have to WAIT for the CIFA bus to arrive and pick you up. The CIFA bus will head through Aguas Verdes and onto the Peruvian immigration point to get the entry stamp and then head onward towards for another 30-40 mins to Tumbes. See the Tumbes article for more information on options from there.

No only did Maikol provide me with door-to-door service for a very reasonable price, he saved me money in the process. Transport is available between Huaquillas and Tumbes, and to the immigration offices on both sides of the border, but taxis, porters and even border guards will try to take advantage of you. For instance, the taxis Maikol hailed each charged $2, yet foreigners who are not accompanied by a guide are often charged up to $5. To arrange for Maikol’s services, phone him at 972-817564 (country code 51). Tell him that Barbara, the travel writer sent you.

I help people find nice apartments, houses, suites, etc. with Ecuadorian prices, especially those who don't speak Spanish or who are not familiar with the culture. I also can help to set up utilities and Internet. I can accompany you to the immigration office and markets. My rates are very reasonable. My name is Danny, and you can reach me at: Danny Trivino: welcometocuenca@outlook.com
