The Inka Express bus carried us on an extended 9-hour ride through the Andes from Cusco south to the high plain of Puno, across Lake Titicaca from Bolivia. The ride was slowed by the boulders and other obstacles remaining in the roads from the national strike.
Although skilled and professional, the bus driver was unable to avoid a bicycling man who veered unexpectedly into the bus, requiring a physician passenger's assistance and rides to the clinic and hospital. Fortunately, the man emerged from the accident in better condition than the bus window.
Our destination, Puno, is the driest, highest, and most industrial area we have seen, with a large proportion of the transportation provided by gas and human powered tricycles.
