Insurance Peru, urgent
I just crossed into Peru from Bolivia and was asked for insurance for the first time. Careless as I am, I haven´t got one. They told me I'd have to buy insurance in Puno (2 hours from the border), the bike would have to stay at the border. I could not buy an insurance at the border. So I paid a 20 Soles (7 Dollar) bribe to be able to pass with the bike. On the way to Puno I was stopped by the police and asked for insurance again. Another 50 Soles bribe to get through (I didn't want them to keep my bike either). Now I am in Puno and the insurance costs 200 Dollars!!
Does anyone know how I can get a cheaper insurance? Or any ideas what I can do?
Would be nice to get some advice soon as I have to leave tomorrow.
Thanks
Peer
