2011 June 13 Puno - Strikes Continue in Lake Titicaca Peru region

(Los Organos, Peru)

News reports state that the international crossing into Bolivia from Peru remains closed by strikers today.

Not all roads in the area are closed and we do not have any reports on which are open at this time.

Use good judgement, ask informed people if you are in Peru right now.

Otherwise, we recommend changing your plans to visit Puno/Lake Titicaca, as the strike will continue according the Aymara leaders in the area.

We would appreciate any updates from readers on the spot in Puno, since news reports are not very clear on the exact situation.
