So we decided to move on. We were looking to get the next flight to Hoi Ann, which is located right in the center of the country, but we were told that there had been floods a week earlier.

Arica was not our destination, we had to move to the South, around one thousand kilometers, and we did not know how, whether by bus, plane or train. We considered all of them and start looking for itineraries.
