The motorcycle-legal roads in and out of LIMA
I will start the thread by saying that I am not a huge fan of Lima.
Last year I rode into it from the North and got into some trouble with the cops.
Anyway I have to go back there to do some business and to fly home.
What are the motorcycle-legal roads in and out of Lima?

I live in Peru and am up on all the details of this. The best bet is to totally AVOID Lima! Keep on the 3N/3S and avoid the hassle.
From the north, ALL major routes into Lima are off limits for motorcycles.
From the east, the main entrances are off limits, but if you take Benavides to LA MOLINA, then work your way over to Javier Prado at Ovalo Monitor Huascar, the following Javier Prado east to the central highway inland.
On the south, the Panamerican anywhere north of Benavides.

Thanks for chiming in! What a mess! I decided to buy tires in La Paz to avoid Lima in the end.
We are in Cusco and prolly headed your way in a week or so. Maybe I can meet you.

JF,
I am in the states to speak at the HU Virginia meeting, and won't be back in Peru until May 10th, but the team is there and shop is open if you have any needs.

anyway, the only one i can remember that was expclitily forbidden for motorcycles was that big 4 lane highway through the middle but as i recall there were signs posted.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
