Dimanche 2 aout, nous nous appretons a quitter le Perou apres plus d´un mois, direction l´Equateur. Comme bien des fois maintenant, nous prenons le bus de nuit ce qui nous permet de faire des economies d´hotel. Nous quittons Mancora vers les 10h, destination Guayaquil la plus grande ville de l´Equateur.
A peine avons nous commence notre nuit que nous nous arretons pour les premiers controles de frontiere. Le passage de la frontiere perouvienne est un peu long car nous sommes beaucoup de passagers et que nous devons faire la queue a 2 endroits differents. Le douanier est d´ailleurs bien peu interesse par nous, il est completement absorbe par un match de foot qu´il est entrain de regarder a la tele, plutot relax non?Apres quelques kilometres nous entrons en Equateur, voici donc le deuxieme passage de frontiere, plutot rapide celui ci.Enfin, nous allons pouvoir dormir a present...
Un peu plus tard lorsque enfin nous dormons bien, nous sommes de nouveau controles. Cette fois c´est un controle anti-narcotique, avec fouille de la soute du bus et de certains bagages a main au hasard ou a la tete du voyageur. Il est 5h du matin quand nous arrivons a Guayaquil. Que faire ?
Nous n´avons pas tres envie en effet de nous retrouver de nouveau dans une grande ville et nous n´avions de toute facon pas l´intention de nous y attarder.
Finallement, nous optons pour un depart immediat pour Montañita sur la cote equatorienne.C´est donc a 5h30 que nous reprenons le bus. Cette fois ci nous ne sommes pas deranges par les arrets et nous pouvons donc poursuivre notre nuit qui fut bien courte. Nous ne verrons absolument rien du trajet.
Montañita est un petit village relativement touristique, repute etre un des meilleurs endroits pour surfer en Equateur. Nous ne surfons pas mais nous avons trouve plutot agreable les quelques jours que nous y avons passe, plutot relax.
Sunday the 2nd of August, after more than a month in Peru we left for Ecuador. As usual, we took a night bus, a way for us not to have to pay for an hotel. It was around 10 pm when we left Mancora to go to Guayaquil, the biggest town in Ecuador. We just started our night, when we stopped for the first border checking point in Peru. It took a while as we were a lot of passengers and we had to stand in a queue twice. One of the officer was absolutely not interested about us. He was completely occupied to watch a football match on the TV, very relax there.
After few kilometres, we had the second border checking point. This one was faster. Here is Ecuador. Later on, when finally everybody was back to sleep, we had an other police check, this time an anti-narcotic one. They checked the bus and some passengers at random.
It was 5 am when we arrived in Guyaquil. What to do ?
We did not really want to spend more time in a very big city. Then we finally decided to continue our trip to Montañita, a small village on the Pacific coast. We took another bus at 5.30 am.
We did not see much of the road, we slept all the way long.
Montañita is a small village known by Ecuadorians and international visitors alike as one of the best surfing locales in the country. Even if we are not surfers we enjoyed staying there for few days, relaxing a lot.
