We sadly left Bolivia and crossed the border into Peru which was a little bit of a shock at first. Peru is not expensive but it´s not Bolivia which is dirt cheap. In a month we ended up spending around $500 per person including tours while eating well and staying in decent hostels. Peru has prices similar to El Salvador and it is not as tranquilo as Bolivia. In Peru you are constantly being harassed by people at the bus stations or in the streets trying to bring you to their hostel or restaurant or do their tour. Puno is not that great of a town so we stayed there for one night, toured the floating islands and then headed on to Cuzco. The floating islands are interesting. They constitute their own municipality and have a school and a health clinic. No idea what they do with aguas negras.
