I was in a taxi at night on the way back to Cusco, Peru from Machu Piccu. A farmers strike had just started and the driver was afraid of being caught working during the strike. Let me tell you, that was one of the scariest rides I've ever been on. Big rocks in the road, flaming tires in the road, farmers up on the hills throwing things down. The driver was hauling ass on some very narrow roads. We made it back though. Hopefully he didn't have an issues after that.
