The Goat Bus

So some of you have already been regaled with stories of "the goat bus". Expreso Barrueto, as it is formally known, is our most direct transport to the big city of Chiclayo along the old Panamerican Hwy. Guido (the driver), Chupaca (the cobrador) and the cast of other fellows pass our caserio of El Porvenir every morning around 7am, picking up people and livestock anywhere along the route. People ride inside, goats, pigs, sheep ride in the luggage compartment and turkeys and chickens ride up top. It's not the tidiest or newest bus but it is comfortable and provides lot of free entertainment for you S/.7. Here's a little bit of what we saw last week.
