Tour Operator Recommendation

**flyin** · #1 29 Dec 2005

HI everyone. Let me first say thanks to everyone who contributes to this website...there is a wealth of information here!

I am trying to plan a short trip to South America with my wife who is not a very experienced passenger and is a little nervous of riding in another country.

I have looked at all the tour operators listed on this site and only a few are within our price range.

Does anyone have an opinion (good or bad) on Peru Motors? They seem to be the least expensive tours by far. They seem to be about 1/2 as much as most tours and I want to know if there is a reason why.

Thanks in advance for any info on Peru Motors or any other tour operators that are affordable.

Hi, sorry I can not help with any experience, but I have been looking for similar trips for 2006 and the link you give to Peru Motors is the best value offer I have seen

The site layout and info gives the impression that they have the necessary experience and as you say the sensible prices offer good value.
I suggest you try them out and report back so I can learn from your adventure

Hi Britch,

We are waiting for a reply from them now to answer some more of our questions. It looks like the 13 day tour they offer does not include a support truck so I'm unsure how this will work on dirt bikes with a passenger as far as luggage goes. It seems they will arrange what ever kind of trip you want. We just need to see how the price changes.

It would be nice to hear from someone who has experience with them. Maybe we will be the first.

Have great new year!

I second the vote for Motoaventura. I have visited with them and they helped me out when I was passing through- in fact if you contact the HU comunity in Osorno you are contacting them. They know thier stuff, have top quality equipment. Speak English and German in addition to Spanish. Might not be cheapest, but you won't have problems.
