Protesters used heavy machinery to place clearing on the same road. In another section, vehicles were abandoned in the middle of the track to completely close the pass. The most affected were the passengers who had to get off the units and walk to transfer. Women with children on their backs and suitcases walked from Ullusca to the entrance of Huaripampa, about 2 to 3 kilometers.
