Puno —> Cusco ✅

Today was an crazy day, but everything worked out.

At first my transport agency left 2h earlier as planned and they were very hectic and had a lot of phone calls in Spanish. I sayed fast goodbye to Noemi and alessandra and I loved their attitude of traveling and their relaxed behaviour.

There were some protests ongoing in Copacabana (I didn’t had this feeling).
I made the “exmigration” in Bolivia and after that my minivan person talked 15 min to a boat person and after that I was able to go inside the boat. Way to early, because the boat was full after 2h🤦🏼‍♂️
I was not able with that stress to change my money and buy some food.

After 5h of bus drive they said that peruan persons in puno trow stones to boats, but I think that was fake. So I took a smaller boat, that I can reach the immigration on point at 19:00. It went out, because of 5 min, but the other people in the boat were earlier at the migration, so I think only tourist scam. I payed to much for this transfer, but I am happy that it went out without no problems at the end.

I met during that “exciting” trip three Chilenes, two from Turkey, two Italians and one Argentinian. We all go now to Cusco, where we were able to book a big bus (Transzela, excpected an collectivo) and pay with card. All money exchange had closed or shops wanted to give me a very bad currency exchange. So the turkey people payed for my food.

Now it depends, if the roads are blocked, I am in Cusco at 5:00 or at 12:00, because we need to drive around.

Now I am “safe” and feel happy, because it could be only the problems as in Cusco to drive more hours with the bus because of some blockades. Other problems will not be around Peru, what I heard so far of travellers here.Läs mer
