Anyone used Perumoters? - Horizons Unlimited

**Forsellini** · #1 18 Dec 2006

I've gotten back from a ride to Panama in Oct/Nov. and now considering flying to Peru to see what I really want most to see in SA. A tour company named Perumoters has an 11 day ride that covers the Cusco, Titicacca, Colca Canyon area and sounds reasonable cost wise. Has anyone done a "tour" ride before? I think I had my "adventure" getting to Panama. It might be nice to take it easy for one ride. http://www.perumotors.com/

I haven't used Peru Motors, but I can vouch for Peru Moto Tours out of Cusco. There address is: http://perumototours.com

It's owned by Alex Luna. He's a great guy who helped me find a new rim for my F650 Dakar last December. They rent bikes and offer limited guided tours. Bikes are new and excellently maintained. I rented a Honda Falcon 400 for a few days--no problems,. Highly recommended. Let me know if you need any other info. I'm now in Mendoza, Argentina headed west.

I went to the link you provided and after looking, couldn't find reference to "Perumoters" tour company. Did you get that info from e-mail? I just couldn't find anything unless I just missed it. Thanks

See end of post #28

"We used a tour-organizer for this trip. They rented us the bikes, set up the lodging, and sent along a poor chap to carry inner tubes, and put up with our American bullshit. Our tour guide is a Dutch guy, and didn´t have a map, or carry much in the way of tools, but was a great guy to ride with. He had ridden much of the route, and knew the best places to get a drink, or a bite to eat. Our whole trip (excluding airfare) was around $2000 for bikes, lodging, gas, connections (trains, busses, etc) for 16 days. Not a bad deal. (www.perumotors.com) Where was I?"

i ran into one of their tour groups outside cuzco in November and they seemed well equiped and friendly. I have a peruvian plated 1996 XR600 I´ll need to sell and have ridden from Chile or Argentina to peru in late feb 07 and have friends there who can facilitate the transfer. if you are interested. best of luck!
