Understand[edit] During the 80's and early 90's, Ayacucho was mostly under control of the Sendero Luminoso, an extreme leftist terrorist group.

Re: Bus to Cusco? I am one of those folks that get pretty sick. I take a Coke to sip, coca leaves to suck on, aspirin or ibuprofen, red-packaged Soda crackers, and plastic bags to barf in (Ziplocs are an excellent choice!). Lots of folks choose to premedicate but I am not a good candidate so I just deal with it and take an emergency drug with me, in case my lungs go south.

The era of the Inca and pre-Inca saw the creation of trails and routes of communication through many of the valleys and along many of the hillsides in and around La Paz.

Bolivia Archives - Notes on Slow Travel. During our continuous journey in South America that started in 2007, we visited Bolivia six times.
In total we spent about a year in this diverse country. We were particularly captivated by the extremes in landscapes and the Bolivians’ strong need for celebrations. Although we never planned to be in a certain place for a particular festival, procession, or fiesta, we stumbled on them regularly. Some were small celebrations in a village, others were festivals held throughout the country.
