No checkpoint here for me, actually I didn't find any police checkpoints from Copacabana to Puno (monday morning).

No checkpoint here for us but there was one a couple of cities down south (will create a separate entry). Corrupt police, asked for SOAT which we obviously did not have because it is not possible to get it at the border. Even on our TIP, aduana wrote: SOAT in puno. Police did not care, asked for 40 soles but we did not have any cash. Then they asked for 150 US dollars instead. A joke! We ended up paying 20 dollars, they had our passports and would not give them back without money. Be well prepared, it was an unpleasant first experience in Peru…

We drove this bit between Puno and the Hostal Casa Blanca three times and twice there was a temporary police checkpoint set up at approximately this location. They wanted to see the vehicle papers (= Aduana document), drivers license and the INSURANCE DOCUMENTS. Thus this is a POTENTIAL STICKY POINT for overlanders DRIVING INTO PUNO FROM BOLIVIA WITHOUT A VALID INSURANCE POLICY FOR PERU.
