If you're looking for a place to stay in Máncora, you end up on three or four platforms that charge between 15% and 25% commission. That percentage doesn't come out of nowhere: it comes out of the price you pay, or the margin of a hostel running six rooms. And surf schools, massage therapists, pier tours, and the ceviche spots on the boardwalk simply don't show up anywhere.
What we do
PuroMáncora lists the town's businesses with the information you actually need to decide: what they offer, how much it costs, what hours they're open, where they are, and how to message them. Nothing more. Once you find what you're looking for, you talk to them directly.
How we fund this
Businesses pay a monthly subscription to be in the guide and to keep their listing up to date. We don't charge a booking commission, we don't handle payments, and we don't stand between the visitor and the business.
- The price you see is the business's price. No platform markup.
- No one buys a better spot in the reviews: featured placement is marked as such.
- A business that stops paying comes off the guide — no outdated listing left floating around.
How we choose what gets listed
We visit every business before publishing it. We confirm it exists, that it's open the hours it says, and that the contact person is the right one. We take the photos ourselves or the business approves them. If something changes — price, hours, owner — we update the listing.
Who we are
A small team based in Máncora. We live here, we eat at the same places we list, and we cross paths in the water with half the instructors in the guide. That's the only credential that matters for this work.
