It’s popular among casual travellers and those who enjoy their hiking, but it’s about time motorcyclists started to realise exactly what it has to offer, too.
South America offers an abundance of adventure motorcycling opportunities and Peru has to be one of the most rewarding. From some of the most stunning scenery to ancient ruins and fantastic roads, this is one hell of an option for anyone looking for a more exotic adventure.
To show you exactly what the country has to offer, we spoke to some guys who are best placed to answer such questions, the people behind motorcycle tour company PeruMotors. So, without further ado, here are nine photos that show exactly why Peru needs to be on your bucket list.
1. You can visit the magnificent Inca ruins of Machu Picchu
2. The Andes mountains provide incredible riding possibilities
3. Plus, there’s no shortage of curvy roads to keep you entertained
4. And when they eventually straighten out you are faced with views like this
5. Plus, there’s unbelievable tracks like the ones around the impressive Colca Canyon
6. And when the mountains end, the vast open deserts begin
