Faced with the blockade of roads in the southern zone of Puno, demonstrations through which the resignation of Dina Boluarte and the closure of Congress are requested, tourists and passengers stranded in the lake city chose to continue their journey in high-speed boats by Lake Titicaca.
But how much should those interested in completing their trip pay promptly without suffering the ravages of the strike that abides by Fist? For a cost that oscillates between 90 and 100 soles, hundreds of people choose to continue their route to Copacabana-Bolivia, from the port of Puno.
The journey takes five hours to the border port of Kasani, located in bolivian. From there to Yunguyo, the travel time is 10 minutes by tricycle or motorbike. To Desaguadero, on the border with Bolivia, the trip takes half an hour by car.
“No choice. It is expensive, but there is no other. The good thing is that at least it is a safe route”said Antonio Villegas, a native of Bolivia. Two boats set sail from the port of Puno and a similar number of boats enter Peru from the Bolivian side.
“Above all, those who are leaving are people who have flights from Bolivia and people who live in border towns such as Yunguyo, Zepita and Drain”, said Héctor Suaña Coyla, president of the Uros lake transport.
The demand for this means of transport to leave the Aymara towns began on Monday, the date the indefinite strike in the south of Puno, as a measure of pressure so that the successor of Pedro Castillo resigns as President of the Republic after the death of people shot by the Army and the National Police, for the most part.
