Crossing the Peru-Ecuador Border by Land

Just got back from my trip and still trying to process everything, but one thing that's been on my mind is the Peru-Ecuador border crossing. Has anyone else tried to do it by land? There are a few different routes, but I took the one from Mancora to Tulcan and it was a real adventure. Anyone have any tips for navigating the border post and making sure you don't get stuck?
