Info Interoceanica road
 

Hello, someone can give me information on the interoceanica road.
it is possible to drive a motorcycle?
how are road conditions?
the situation of the service stations?
it takes special permission ??

Thank you

hallo,

i drove the road two weeks ago, from cusco - puerto maldonado - inapari - brasileia - Porto Velho than i rode in the south to the pantanal (pocone).

you will have no pig problems. in peru the road is quite good, everything was asphalt, no big holes. the pass between cusco and puerto maldonado is just amazing. after the pass down in the rainforrest is nice. they build a lot new bridges and parts. my osm wasn´t actual for this.

down, there is not so much to see, sometimes rainforrest but also a lot of fields with cows. they burn a lot of the forrest :/
in puerto maldonado i haven´t seen the sun for two days because of the smoke.

it goes on like this till the border.

in brazil the road is worse but still ridable. just take care of some big holes and big bumps in the road. you really have to pay attention!!!
along the road there is not much too see, almost the whole forrest is gone. when you leave acre there is more rainforrest left but i found it still very sad to see.

try to get a tip at the brazilian border. they didn´t give me one even when i asked two times.

Thank you very much!!

A lot of the road in Brazil is in very poor condition with sections of good road here and there. Where it is bad, the potholes extend right across the road in places and there are detours into the grass verge and the trucks just career along treating it as a 100kmph continuously chicaned racetrack. Motorbikes were definitely 10th class road users.

The road all the way from Cusco to the border was generally in excellent condition and a lot of it with close to zero traffic and lots of smooth tight bends in places. Gets up to 4500 metres and the TukTuk in the photo was somewhat underpowered and was slaloming up the steep parts of the road

Know that the Interoceanic Highway is a primarily a commercial road. From my research I understand that trucks, trucks and large trucks are what you can expect to encounter. I have not read about any special permission or tolls. I imagine there is a toll some where...

It is also on my lifetime list of roads I plan to travel. Crazy but true. In fact I only want to ride a section of the Interoceanic Highway from Peru, to Porto Velho, Brazil, then north on a long dirt road called BR 319 to Manaus...that is not a road for the faint of heart. =)

Here is some useful information care of Wikipedia.

PS: Interoceanic does not go through Bolivia. I am not sure why Axel__88 posted the map that he did, unless it was as an alternate route.

Peter, ditch your research... road is empty, from Cusco onwards...to Assis, then only smoke and remnants of burnt trees in what was the Brazilian amazon...sad very sad.
...only gets busy as you approach Brasilia.

Hello!
Indeed, the picture mentions "tren bioceanico", a railroad from Peru, Bolivia and Brazil. Not related to the Interoceanic Highway referred.
Anyway, three years ago I traveled to Corumbá (Brazil/Bolivia border) and made a route very similar to the one in the picture, which crosses part of the Pantanal area. Took nice pictures. Next time I intend to go through the "Estrada Parque", an offroad route that is located literally in the middle of the Pantanal, and allows us to see beautiful vistas and lots of animals in freedom.

you talk about the tranpantaneira?

i can definetely recommend this road.
you wil see a lot of animals, birds, caymans and sometimes snakes :/ . it was very nice seeing these animals alive and not only dead on the side of the street like all the way before.

at the end of the road to the left is a little campingplace where you can sleep. than you can ride the road back at the next day or stay a while. there is only one straight road.

at the moment they build a lot of new bridges, i don´t like it. the wood bridges give this ride a nice flair. but for the motorcyclest and the trucks it could be good.

what i experienced, don´t drive it when it´s raining. its unbelievable deep muddy and the wood bridges are very slippery, also i had to cut a tree laying in front of a bridge, that was hard work.

here some impressions:

some parts are unbelievable muddy when it rains


have fun :)

Not exactly! Transpantaneira is in a northern part of Pantanal. And definitely is amazing for those who love nature and adventure. Estrada Parque is another road, more to the southwest of Pantanal. It begins in Corumbá and goes to the nearby of Miranda. It has about 120km. I guess it is similar to the Transpantaneira, but it is not so known.

Here a link to the Tripadvisor, with maps, reviews:

Next time here, you might have another Pantanal experience!
