Peru motorcycle tour to the Inca city from Lima to Cusco

It is recommended to check and refresh standard vaccinations such as diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTaP). Additionally, all travelers to Peru are advised to get the hepatitis A vaccine, as there is a risk of infection. It is important to note that these are general recommendations and individual factors such as your health condition should be taken into account. Therefore, we recommend consulting your family doctor or a travel medicine specialist for personal advice and recommendations tailored to your specific needs.

Yes, of course! Like other tour operators, we will meet you at the exit/arrival (in the arrival hall) and are easily recognizable. Please do not leave the arrival hall until we have found each other. We track your flight online and are informed of any changes to the arrival time. If you arrive earlier than planned and we have not yet met, please wait in the arrival hall.

It is advisable to check with your health and accident insurance whether the coverage also applies to Peru. Additionally, there are various insurance packages that can optimally secure your trip. These include, for example, trip cancellation, repatriation by ambulance transportation, legal expenses, and much more. Make sure that the coverage is valid worldwide. Rescue and recovery costs, as well as ambulance transports, can become very expensive in a country the size of Peru. Note the emergency numbers of the insurance companies that need to be contacted in case of emergency. It is also always advisable to store important documents online.

We stay in carefully selected 2 or 3-star hotels. It is important to us that the rooms are clean and have a shower, a toilet, and a good breakfast. The safety of the accommodations is also a concern for us. Some hotels also offer pools and beautiful gardens. The hotel staff has been known to us for many years, and we value a friendly and respectful interaction. Single and double rooms (with 2 beds or one bed) can be booked, with double rooms suitable only for people who already know each other.

Yes, for a trip to Peru, you need both the national driver's license from your home country and the international driver's license. Be sure to verify the validity of the licenses before departure.

In all larger towns and also on the road, you will have mobile reception. Many providers offer affordable rates for travelers. It is advisable to contact your provider before the trip if you want to use your phone regularly. Most hotels offer free internet access.

The condition of the roads in Peru varies greatly, but in general, our participants are positively surprised by the road conditions. A toll is charged on major connecting roads, but motorcyclists are exempt from it. In our travel programs, we also indicate how much off-road mileage there is.

The risks vary depending on the stage. Our experienced tour guides hold detailed briefings daily to minimize the risk of accidents. Traffic in Peru can be chaotic, especially in larger cities like Lima. There is often a high number of vehicles, and many drivers may not adhere to traffic rules. In rural areas of Peru, animals roam freely on the streets - dogs, cows, horses, donkeys, pigs, sheep, llamas, and alpacas, as well as wildlife. The varying weather conditions must be considered. We recommend a defensive driving style without obstructing the flow of traffic. It is important to always wear the recommended protective gear and to pay close attention to the tour guide's instructions. In Peru, there is a zero tolerance limit for alcohol at the wheel. Our MOTORCYCLE ADVENTURES are intended for experienced motorcyclists and are not suitable for beginners.

Medical care in Peru varies depending on the region and city. In larger cities like Lima, Arequipa, and Cusco, there are well-equipped hospitals and clinics with qualified medical personnel. However, in rural areas and remote regions, medical care is limited. In most cases, patients may need to be transported to larger cities to receive adequate medical care. We are well-prepared to handle medical incidents as best as possible. Participants should definitely have competent travel insurance. Accident and health insurance, such as that available at home, is not suitable for long-distance travel. The help we expect from an insurance company includes, in addition to an insurance package, an emergency number with competent partners on the other end of the line.

There is no specific best time to travel to Peru as the country has various climate zones. On the coast, from December to March, there is high fog, while in the highlands of the Andes, the best time to travel is from April to October, as there is little precipitation. Daytime temperatures range from 20-24 degrees, cooling down to 0-8 degrees at night. On the coast, it is very warm from December to March with temperatures of 30-35 degrees, which is a good time for swimming in the Pacific. From April to November, temperatures range from 15-22 degrees, which also provides a pleasant climate for motorcycling. In the jungle, tropical temperatures between 25-30 degrees prevail throughout the year, with high humidity. Peru lies in the tropical zone near the equator, so the seasons are less characterized by temperature fluctuations than by the amount of precipitation. Our tour calendar is adapted accordingly to the climate and weather.

The altitude in the Andean highlands can have various effects on the body. Here are some possible symptoms: headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and shortness of breath due to reduced oxygen availability at higher elevations. It is recommended to acclimatize slowly to the altitude and drink plenty of fluids. Many people also find it difficult to sleep well at high altitudes, which can lead to fatigue and exhaustion during the trip. Our travel programs are designed to allow for a slow adjustment to the altitude. Crossing high passes is usually unproblematic, but overnight stays at elevations above 3,500 meters can be more challenging. We recommend taking a medical natural product called "Sorojchi" pills, which are available at any pharmacy in Peru. Drinking coca tea can also help thin the blood and combat nausea. People with respiratory illnesses such as asthma or chronic bronchitis should take this into account when traveling to the Andean highlands. We are equipped with a pulse oximeter and a blood pressure monitor and check the health status of our participants.

For the 3-week tours with a mileage of 3,000 to 3,300, you should budget about 120 euros for fuel consumption. Prices at gas stations are quoted per gallon (3.8 liters). Refueling is carried out by the staff, and tipping is not customary. Payment can be made in cash or by credit card.
