Cusco and the north
 

I hope to be in Cusco around the 7th Mar for a few days before carrying on north and if possible staying high. Anybody got any info or reccomendations on routes and moto friendly hotels/bars in Cusco? Will trade for info on river Xings and mud baths in Bolivia. Ride safe, Mike.

Hi Mike!

The Hostel in Cusco is Estrellita, as i remember right it is in Tullumayo 454, very small sign on the wall on the right hand side when you drive uphill!Cheep and good (kitchen, free tee & coffee, breakfast includet, 8 month ago it costed 12,- Pesos($4,-)! Great dirt roads Abancay - Ayacucho, Via Santa Ines - Huancavelica -Huancayo, Huanuco - La Union than paved to Huaraz, Caraz - Huallanca - Chao (this one is amacing).

Wish you good luck Appie!

Thanks Appie it sounds good. The last couple of days have been rain free and I´m hoping that the dryer "winter" weather has started and as a bonus the moto is staying cleaner longer. Ride safe, Mike
