Potato, potarto...
Sorry Marker, but I've gotta disagree about the 'corruption' at Huaquilas. Hectic, yep, but I've never had nor heard of a problem there - maybe it depends upon which direction you're travelling? Coming into Ecuador can be a pain in the hole, but leaving's hassle free and the Peruvian Aduana there is (was?) genuinely friendly and helpful. And I found the whole cross-border bridge market kinda interesting.
Ecuadorean and Peruvian Customs are both on the bridge. Peruano Migracion is a few clicks out of town, towards Tumbes, on your left. If you drop through this route, make sure you spend a couple of nights relaxing in Mancora, a dusty truck-stop town hiding one of the nicest beaches on the Pacific Coast. With the best ceviche I ever tasted...
Suerte, Dan Walsh
