Legal aspects of buying a bike in Peru
I do not know the details of the process in Peru.
It is ok to buy a bike, for a none resident
But from 2019, there is a law that makes it illegal to take it out from Peru.
Endless discusson about some border controls not checking, (to Argentina) work arounds and. Even if you should be able to pass a border control without beeing stopped. You have done something illegal.
But just becouse it is illlegal, maybe it is not impossible.
But can you return with a bike tha was smuggled out ?...
I have a friend that went there to buy a bike and tour SA.
But all these restrictions about leaving Peru, request to return within surtain time, or not be able to return at all.
She gave up and went to Mexico.
If the purpose had been to tour only Peru, there had been no problem.
Advice: Do you homework properly. And do not thrust marketing messages, that leaves parts of the information out.

You can aslo read in another thread about a person that spent months to try to get legally out of Peru. But gave up. And his vacation was destroyed.
