4 Days in Peru
Short summary:
Day 1: Bordercrossing. No problem. But it takes time for the bike. I could buy insurance (SOAT) in the same building.
There was actually a police checkpoint not dar after the border. They checket the import permission
Easy ride to first town.
I had planned to keep close to the coast for a couple of days. Before going up into the mountains.
But I went up direct.
Day 2:
Started with nice roads and beautful views. But ended with hard and slow ride on gravel.
The surface was hard and bumpy. Shaking bothme and the bike. Fog in one area with wet. Hairpins and going up and down.
(I did not take pictures from this part)
The day was long and hard.
Day 3;
Almost the same story, First roads that where OK. Later hard gracel ride for 100 km. Again to long day
Day 4: Resting day. Activity to come....
The roads are much worse than I expected, It taked long time and a lot of effort. I need to plan for shorter legs.
But it is not easy to find accomndation and protection for the bike. So there can be no alternativ to long rides.
If it continues like this, I will just shorten the loop.
But I have watched Youtube videos where the cruise the mountains on nice tarmac roads.
But not in this area.
There is quite a lot of traffic. Including trucks.
Speed bumps all the time. And they are really bumps.
It is necessary to ride really slow over them.
People are very friedly. And curious. Every time I stop, they ask where I am frpm, where I started my travel and where I am going. And asks about that huge bike that I have
So a collection of pictures
