YOUR MOTORCYCLE TOUR IN PERU

13 days - 1,300 miles

1/13 • Arrive in Arequipa

You arrive in Arequipa. Perched at 2,300 m altitude, on the edge of the Peruvian Altiplano, this colonial city will give you a warm welcome. The old town's architectural charm and the locals' culinary culture are the perfect combination for you to recover from your long journey.

2/13 • Arequipa - Colca Canyon

We ride along a main road that quickly pushes us up to a higher altitude (more than 4,000 m) and into the Zona de Vicuñas. Once we reach Pampa de Toccra, we are right in the heart of the rough, vast Andean highlands, where we cross the highest pass of the tour: Abra Patapampa (4,910 m). After lunch, we criss-cross a wooded valley that gradually gives way to Colca Canyon, the second deepest in the world.

135 miles

3/13 • Colca Canyon - Espinar

After one last stretch of asphalt road, we cover more than 60 miles of tracks through Andean meadows. We rejoin the tar road and make a detour towards the beautiful pre-Columbian ruins of Kanamarka.

155 miles

Primary assistance to reach the nearest medical center is mainly provided by our assistance vehicle, means such as helicopters or ambulances being very rare. Limited telephone networks and a ban on satellite phones can make contacting emergency services difficult. As with any mountain itinerary, the quality of the roads and the difficulty of the route depend on the weather conditions, both during and before the trip.
