Claes: Saturday morning and we're meeting with Rocio Valdeavellano and Jose Ricapa from MOCICC, Movimiento Ciudando frente al Cambio Climatico a citizens' movement against climate change. Since we're leaving in the afternoon, they kindly offered to come see us at our hotel.
Claes: Mid-afternoon and we're heading back to the airport. This time to fly for about an hour to Chiclayo a near-coastal city further up north. Looking out the airplane window, it's a barren and dry landscape, with many water canals. Chiclayo is a fairly large city and as soon as we have out suitcaes, we are swiftly taken through the city streets by a very talkative guy - the first of mahy who is offering to take us places. We're checking in at our hotel, which seems to be run by very young folks all around. And the negotiations begin: We were hoping to get a collectivo taxi to Bagua. But before the evening is over, a cousin to a friend to a brother are involved. We end up with a big van, with plenty of room, but very nice.
Claes: In the evening in Chiclayo, we take a small taxi cab to La Fiesta - yes, the same restaurant as in Lima. Could be the fiesta, or that it's rather early in the evening, but the restaurant is empty. We get terrific service and great food. And as the photograph shows, we empty the plates.
