After a disastrous start when our 'agent' failed to buy our tickets out of Chachapoyas, everything went fine. Three colectivo (minibus) rides totalling 7 hours got us to San Ignacio, about an hour south of the border, by mid-afternoon. We decided to stay as it was the last decent-sized town. Found a hotel, had a coffee and then had the best mixed grill in Peru!
Yesterday to the border where passport control was a shed either side. And miracle, a bus leaving half an hour later. The road was very steep, very windy and not paved so the first 50km was nearly 3 hours. It got a bit better at times, but still over 6 hours for 150km!
Now we're settled in our nice apartment overlooking the quiet small town of Vilcabamba for three nights.
