Thank you so much for your report.

I plan to take a similar trip. I will avoid going from Puno to Bolivia by bus. I think there is a flight from Puno to La Paz in fact.

1. What month were you there?
2. Can you pay the airport tax with a credit card or US dollars?
3. I assume many places do not take credit cards? Like restaurants?
4. Do the long distant buses have loos like in the US?
5. Did the high altitude pills work? Or you really need coca.

Even going to Colorado I get splitting headaches. I drink a lot of water when I go and take aspirin.

Thanks. Your report is really helpful to me.

I will certainly take LAN. Looks a zillion times better than AA. And their meals suck.
