Here we were stopped, just after puquio (going to Cuzco) because we forgot to turn on the light (which was right). Police men explained that we could have a fine of 960 soles, and they can keep our vehicule for 24h. Then another fine for red reflect (350soles). He said we have to follow him to the police station for the fine. I stay calm, telling him that seems over rated for my mistake. Finally I told that the first thing that I will do in town will be to all the ambassy, they could confirm that this is normal situation. His mate then stop to record with video, and they just told me to don't forget the next time. They quickly changed to quite aggressive to nice guys. Don't pay or accept stupid thing.
We don't have any photos of this place yet.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
There is a pull out area on this curve. Could easily be a police stop. But not today.
Report Check-InPolicemen at the side of the road, stopped us but only greeted us nicely and told us to drive on. They seemed rather curious than briby ;)
Report Check-InThe coordinates of this point are definitely wrong. There is no road in the vicinity of 1 km. We close this entry.
