PeruMotors offers you a guided motorcycle tour in Peru in an absolute minimum of time (9 days). The tour starts in our hometown: Arequipa. You can see the Andean Condors in flight in the Colca Canyon, you’ll visit the ‘Floating islands of the Uros’ on lake Titicaca, feel just a touch of the Amazon jungle, see the ‘Sacred Valley of the Incas’, and, of course, THE touristic highlight of South America: MACHU PICCHU.
The tour ends in Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca empire.

​

DAY 1.  Arrival in Arequipa (Peru)

You will arrive in Arequipa (Peru) on day one, the lively city in southern Peru.
We will pick you up from the airport and bring you to the hotel. Your tour guide will do the briefing for the whole group about the upcoming tour. And he will arrange the necessary paperwork and the “Safety Deposit” for the motorcycle with you. The rest of the day is at leisure.

​

DAY 2.  Arequipa - Colca Canyon

It is finally time to start our engines. To get out of the city is our first challenge. Then in about 80 kilometers we will reach the high planes on 4.000 meters. Here you can see the wild vicuñas, carrying the most expensive wool in the world. After lunch we will reach the highest point of the whole tour, on almost 5.000 meters. Then the beautiful descend to the town of Chivay. Late in the afternoon we can visit the hot springs.

​

DAY 3 & 4.  Colca Canyon - Puno

In the morning we ride deeper into the deepest canyon in the world (Colca Canyon), on our way to ‘Cruz del Condor’. Here we can see the largest flying bird in the world (Andean Condor) in flight. Then crossing the mighty Andes on our way to the city on the shores of Lake Titicaca: Puno.
The next morning we will do a boat cruise on the lake and visit the “Floating Islands of the Uros”. And in the afternoon an optional visit to the special Inca-site of Sillustani, old (pre-) Inca buriel grounds.

​

DAY 5.  Puno - Mazuko

A long ride down hill to the outskirts of the Amazon Jungle. On our way to Mazuko, a little tropical village on the east slopes of the Andes. The paved road down hill is spectacular ! Probably the best motorcycle road you have EVER ridden. We end up in the little tropical town of Mazuko, where we stay in a basic family hotel.

​

DAY 6. Mazuko - Ollantaytambo

And… what comes down, has to go back up against the mighty Andes again. A fantastic unforgettable ride !!! The last 60 kilometers we will ride through the beautiful ‘Sacred Valley of the Incas’. Ending in the authentic little Inca town, with a massive fortress.

​

DAY 7.  Machu Picchu

The absolute highlight of this tour: Machu Picchu.

There is still no road to this magical place. So, early in the morning you go by train to the little town of Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo). From there it is half an hour by bus to the entrance of the citadel. After your visit to the ruins you go back to Ollantaytambo by train.

​

DAY 8: Ollantaytambo - Cusco

From Ollantaytambo we ride through the “Sacred Valley of the Incas” to Cusco, where we will arrive around noon. In the afternoon your tour guide takes you on the “The World Famous Walking City Tour in Cusco, Powered by PeruMotors”. This is a 2,5 hour walking tour through the city center of Cusco. The rest of the day is to explore the city and its surroundings on your own. Stroll it’s little steep streets, the Plaza de Armas, local markets, the cathedral, museums, ruins of Saqsayhuaman and much, much more.

DAMAGE REDUCTION INSURANCE

Personal injury and death:
All our motorcycles are insured according to the minimum requirements of the Peruvian authorities (SOAT). This means that the rider, his passenger AND third parties are limited (!) covered for medical costs.
Nevertheless, we strongly advise our guests to get a health insurance with maximum coverage in Peru, for the length of this tour, because you don’t want to depend on the Peruvian SOAT-insurance.

Damage to the rental motorcycle and third party property damage:
All our motorcycles are standard NOT INSURED for damage to the rental motorcycle AND for property damage to third parties. The optional ‘Damage Reduction Insurance’ covers this kind of damage, with an excess/deductible of max.

Without this insurance the rider/renter of the motorcycle is fully liable for all costs of damage to the rental motorcycle and third party property. In this case the “Security Deposit” is US$ 2,500.00 (cash or major credit card), but your maximum risk is NOT LIMITED to this amount !
