Our Americas page covers South and Central America as well as the USA and Canada. As a result there is a huge range of issues facing travellers. In South and Central America we would highlight the dangers when travelling by bus, the depressing statistic is that approximately 700 die annually in Peru as a result of bus crashes. Dengue fever may also be a threat, in early 2010 there were serious outbreaks in Brazil, Bolivia and Guatemala.
Manuel Tienda Leon have buses leaving every 30 mins or so & they take you to a depot in the middle of town. But at no extra cost a small car takes you onto the hostel. It was nearly 11pm when we got into the city, not a good time to be wandering arond. In fact one girl couldn´t find the entrance to her hostel, there were alot of men on the street, dope in the air and the driver helped her find it. so good service to the door.
