One lane of the bridge is already open. There is is the classic “siga/pare” staff controlling the traffic. Everyone passes, motos, mototaxis, us (VW Kombi t2), even a huge loaded truck before us. Free of course. Ferries are docked empty underneath.

Super easy and quick

Report Check-In

The bridge is old and blocked on both sides with mounds of earth that has vegetation growing on top, so has been like this for a while. No signs of construction.
30 soles for a Land Cruiser. Locals pay too

Coming into Puerto Pizano from the north on the PE-5N you can see the bridge is blocked (seems to have been like this for a while). Make a left turn before the bridge and then a right turn on the next junction - there are no signs, just follow the trucks. An unpaved road leads down to the ferry boats. On either side of the river it's about a 35-40% grade but okay to get up and down the short stretches. Ferry is free but the locals on board are trying to get money out of you. A woman wanted to charge us 40 Soles (10 US$) for the 2 minute crossing and said the car in front of us paid 20. BS! There are 2 ferry points on either side and the ferries are large enough for all vehicles incl. 18 wheelers.
