Crossing Borders: In pictures
We crossed a number of land borders throughout our 6 and a half months in South America - quite a novelty for two Brits! Here are some of our border crossing photos.
Leaving Peru, we were pleased that the border crossing was well marked with the iconic Peru sign and a big bottle of Cusquena beer!

Gap is an area of dense jungle and swampland of 160 kilometres in length that
links the two countries together and there is no road that goes through it.
