The blockade registered in Moquegua caused tourists foreigners stuck on the Montalvo bridge due to the closure of the Panamericana Sur highway. According to one of the victims, the protesters told them they had to wait at least five hours to assess whether they were allowed to cross the road.

They reported that they had to overcome all the checkpoints found on the highway from Puno to Arequipa and then from this area to Moquegua.

if the protesters they are not allowed to continue their journey, they have the option to return to Arequipa and follow the route through Ilo and Tacna to reach your destination via Costanera.

Demonstrations in the south also discouraged Chilean tourists from entering Tacna, this directly affected the number of passengers traveling on the Tacna and Arica buses.

According to the drivers, there have been no Chilean tourists for three days. Around 200 people were affected by the blockade centered on the entrance to the Santa Rosa border complex.

Tourism in Tacna dropped to 0
