Día del Peatón in Cochabamba is the annual Sunday (yes­ter­day) when all dri­ving is pro­hib­ited in pref­er­ence to pedes­trian traf­fic. A trav­esty of rights and active dis­crim­i­na­tion against the motorist the day may be, but the town sure is quiet! Our busy street of Simon Lopez, which is nor­mally filled with honk­ing cars and screech­ing brakes, was filled with cyclists and walkers.
