We're going to Pucallpa and Cuzco soon. The bus is $50 and takes 24 hours. So we went to a little family owned travel agency down the street David recommended. Mom, two daughters, one husband and a baby. We bought our tickets -- $75 on a plane, 1 hour. On the internet the pucallpa ticket was $900 rt, here in Lima $150. Hmmmmmm.
They don't take credit cards and appeared never to have seen a travellers check before, so I had to go to the bank to get cash. They wouldn't accept my british debit card, so I tried the travellers checks. After producing passport and drivers licence they still wouldn't cash them because I signed the checks without my middle initial, which was on my ID. Now it used to be that you just countersign with the same signature and you get your money. Not at this bank! So the only way I could get the cash was with a cash advance on my credit card. Which still took a half hour, while the agent daughter, husband and bebe waited in the car. But we got the tickets!
Leaving for Pucallpa Monday at 4:30AM, back to Lima on 17th, then off to Cuzco on the 20th returning on 25th, and back to Kentucky on the 28th. I was hoping to go to Quito, but that's for another time.
