Retracing our steps yet further, we’re back on the bus to Puno where we have a couple of hours to kill before heading to the airport at Juliaca for our flight back to Lima. Nothing remarkable about this you might say, except that you didn’t see the road. We drive along for a few miles and suddenly the road has been dug up in every direction and there’s no obvious way to get through to the airport. Cars are driving over piles of shingle and stones and across railways tracks trying to make a path for themselves and cars coming towards us have to stop to let us pass. A huge bus hurtles along and everyone is trying to follow in its path figuring it will create a road of sorts. It’s total chaos. Added to that the fact that there doesn’t seem to be any actual work going on. It’s as if it’s been dug up and then abandoned. And this is the major road between the airport and the port. Bizarre.
