Riding in the Back of Pickup Trucks
I have a confession to make: I love riding in the back of pickup trucks! It's just so different from anything I had done in the States. The wind in your hair, the slight sense of danger. It's great. What is not great is when kids ride in the back of the truck by themselves. This happens OFTEN. It is also pretty common for A LOT of people to be crammed into the back of a single truck. Sometimes on market days they are used almost as public transportation. Locals who have a truck will bring people into town and then back out to their smaller villages and charge a small fee ($.50-$.75) per person.

Apparently seat belts highly optional.On the other hand, standing in a packed camionetta hurling around curves on country roads is the alternative transportation. But without the wind in your hair, though perhaps the loud music makes up for that? Choose your poison.
