Questions about La Balsa, Ecuador/Peru border
Hey guys, currently in Vilcabamba and looking to cross into Peru at La Balsa. I found some good info but a bit dated. Was wondering if anyone had current info on times/distances/road conditions now? I know there was/is a lot of construction going on.
Was also wondering if I need to check the bike out of Ecuador, or just skip it like I did coming in from Colombia. Another, bigger potential problem I have is that the title of my bike is not in my name - a Bolivian plated bike I bought from another traveler in Colombia. I have a notarized Bill of Sale and a Power of Attorney, but I have heard that Peru will not accept a POA and Im not sure about the BOS. Apparently the aduana in Peru was manned by a pretty inept older guy, so Im not sure if thats good or bad....maybe have a few $ ready?....
Thanks for any advice!
