careful with road conditions Peru
 

Hi! Be very careful with road conditions in Peru. Many mountian roads and the north Panamerican highway are completely, and I mean it, impassable. I swear it, I saw it myself and tried with a will of steel to continue torth from Lima, and it is impoossible.

Consider carefully not coming though Peru, at all costs. It will end up costing you time and money.

Sorry, since I havent made it to colombia, and at this point cant, I cant recommend any good mechs up there. I can if you get down into Peru, Bolivia or Argentina.

Let me know if you have any questions, best of luck!

If you can reach Lima, we can help you.

You can try to enter to Peru from Loja (Ecuador) taking 682 road to south. This is in the jungle side, not in the coast side, because the coast roads are very damaged.

Last week a customer used this route and arrive to Lima without delays, crossing Jaen, Tarapoto, Huanuco and then arrived to Lima

I just dropped in for a chat last year as he was a mate of mates of mine, needed nothing (was on a Kawasaki). Was confidence inspiring.

Do you have any contact informations? The one i found in the other thread doesn't work.
