In general, Brazilians are horrible travelers. They never backpack, never share a room or much less a bathroom. If you are not in Miami, Paris or Rome, finding a Brazilian is a real rarity... not that I miss'em.
Anyways, they were desperate because of some supposed strike. Since I couldnt make up mind about either going to Cusco or going home, the people at Llave decided to make that decision on my behalf. Just a little past the Peruvian border, the citizens of Llave built a road block in an attempt to get the mayor out of office.
That meant no one could cross to Puno and make it to Cusco. It was beyond me. I couldnt get there even if I wanted to. Peru was no longer accessible at least for another week or so.
I heard what these Brazilians had to say and went on to check with the Bolivian border patrol. As soon as I heard it was true, I was on the first bus back to La Paz. Two hours after I made it town, I had my ticket back to Brazil.
Home was less than a week away.
