Social reality vs tourism

Unfortunately it seems that Tarma is out of the question because of a miners' strike in the highlands which includes blocking the main road on which the buses to Tarma and the jungle normally drive. So it's back to the drawing board for our trip. Maybe Ayacucho and colonial-style buildings?
At the same time, I just received an e-mail from one of the rugby girls saying she couldn't come to practice because her brother had not returned from the city Tingo Maria by car when he should have come on Monday, and the whole family is verry worried.
I'm starting to think Cruz del Sur looks like a nice bus company - they claim to monitor their fleet by satellite and offer internet on the bus (assuming anyone would risk taking their laptop on the bus).
