This motorbike adventure will take us to some of the most spectacular sights of Peru. First, Peru has winding roads galore surrounded by desert or Jurassic era-style jungle. Ghost mining towns are on our way too as we’re headed to the sacred valley and Macchu Picchu. Cuzco is well worth a short break to take-in the amazing colonial baroque architecture before heading to the highest lake in the world: Titicaca! Who has not heard of the Nazca lines? They’re truly visible only from the heavens, so we’ll have a plane ride over the area to take in the scenery. From the highest lake in the world, we’ll go to the deepest canyon is the world and take a good look at squads of condors flying around us. The Santa Catalina Monastery in Arequipa is as close as it gets to a time travel experience. Let’s not forget that Peru has been rated as having some of the best cuisine in the world – with Pisco Sour! Get hold of your Tintin-“Prisoners of the Sun” episode, for a crash course featuring spitting llamas & Pisco, and we’re certain you’ll be ready to pack your helmet and boots - but make sure to leave your scales at home!SIGN IN TO THE INTERESTED LIST OF THIS TOUR
