Nos pararon y preguntaron si llevábamos frutas, les dijimos que no, y pidieron de subir en el vehículo igualmente para revisar.

We only check in to add in the description that the control is westbound only. (This is what all the comments say and our experience. We passed 3 times.)

They still don’t check. We said we had only a lemon and he said ok and let us go.

Bye bye oranges.... super friendly staff. As said before, you can keep your bananas.

Official only asked if we had fruit. We told them only bananas. No problems with bananas. They let us pass with a big smile.
This was around 13:00.

Control only on the way towards Nazca. We drove by in the other direction and no one stopped us.

The control of fruit is still topical. They can control the van.

We drove through around midday and we thought they were having post lunch siesta, we didn't get stopped. :)

Stopped us and asked to open our doors. Peeked inside and then sent us on our way. Nice guards!

Still checking at 19.00 in the evening. We gave them the mandarin that was visible in the front and they didn't want to check the back of the car after that.

Heading towards Cusco/eastbound we were not stopped. Looked like it might only be for westbound traffic.

Very chill fruit control. Asked for avocados and mangoes. Eat them first.

They wanted our fruit and came into our van looking for it! Hide it or eat it

Only asked where we are travelling from/to, no fruit questions.

They asked whether we have fruits, as we just went shopping in the town before we said no and luckily they let us pass without checking the car! We were in direction to Nazca.
