Border crossing bus services


I have to catch up on a couple of days as I have been travelling, on Friday 28th we spent the full day on the service bus from Mancora to Loja in Ecuador. This was an experience of 12 hours no air conditioning and no scheduled stops, the only system seemed to be pick up anyone waiting at the side of the road including large checked bags which could be full of anything. There was no food served on the bus ( was no cruz del sur) but at every town we were swamped with local vendors selling more types of food than you find in the Metro centre food hall but better ( that doesn’t take much though).
However, the views were spectacular and made the journey more than worth it. Travelling through luscious green forests after starting the day on the beach in a hot desert was incredible. It’s my first time in Ecuador and I feel its going to be a trip of a life time.
