Peru-Ecuador border crossing

Country forums / South America / Peru

Hello all,

Does anyone have advice on a good overland company for crossing from Peru to Ecuador with little hassle. I´d rather take the bus than fly. Any suggestions welcome--heard it´s a bit dodgy here.

Thanks

Try Ormeno bus

I crossed into Peru from Ecuador a few ago and had no probelms. I would take a reputable bus line like Ormeno and would encourage you to do so at night. I've heard horror stories about being hassled during the day and long lines, however I literally was the only person at customs when we arrived around midnight. The whole process took less than five minutes and the only words uttered to me were "buenos noches"...

Careful at night
