how to store your bike legally in peru

first you better make sure that there is a custom office(aduanas) nearby.
after finding a save place to store your bike you go to the comisaria of that bario and ask for a constatacion policial.
they will come to the place and take details of the owner and of the place itself,nr. of water meter and electicity meter,colour of the house and finally they look at the number plate and if there is a spare tyre.
you then have to go to the banco de la nacion and pay soles 3,60 to the police account,tell them: quiero pagar el derecho a una copia certificada de una constatacion polical.
make copy of the receit and go back to the comisaria the next day and get your paper,make copy.
meanwhile get a friendly peruvian to help you with phrasing un solictud de postergacion for customs.
in which you state that you have to go home,financial or health or family reasons,make copy.make copy of the permiso temporal de internacion(importacion) of your bike,copy of the papers of the bike,copy of the flight dates and what ever you think is of interest to the customs.
you then go to las aduanas present your case and with luck you should be out of there within 1-3 hours and everything completed
up to a year seems to be no problem. in my case in arequipa very friendly stuff.
suerte pata motoquero
all the best geri

I have done the same in Cuzco, but did not feel the need to SHOUTabout it.



I had to make up an emergency excuse (sick mother) and show a copy of my new plane ticket to customs. They did not care where I left the bike or anything. All was very smooth & the costs were inconsequential. I got 12 months as well.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
