Peru
 

Hi all we are looking at doing some riding in Peru next year we are short on time due to work so should only get 10 / 11 days riding want to take in machu pichu some jungle and desert riding looking at renting Drz or klr has anyone done this ? Flights looking like Manchester to lima. lima to cusco any advise would be great
Thanks.

I'm in Cusco now. Flying back to the UK in 2 weeks. But I'll be returning next year aswel.

Download the application iOverlander, then have a look around Cusco. Should be able to build a good idea of where to go what to do, routes that you want to see etc.

There are a couple of hire places in Cusco, they're on ioverlander and google no doubt has the info. They have a range of bikes, wouldn't recommend a KLR though for around here, fat and underpowered. They all have crf250l though which is what I would recommend going for if you've got the choice when you contact them. PS if it's all the time you can get obviously it's all you can get... But it's really not very long, by the time you get over jet lag, get the bikes, get sorted. Then get going, get back and drop the bikes.... Not much riding time considering the 20hour flights each way.

Just my 2cents but it's too far for 10-11 days. Tell the boss you want 3 weeks or you quit :-)

Completely agree! And I do this in Peru for a living!

Go see Alex in Cuzco at Peru Moto Tours - Motorcycle Rentals, Tours, and ATV Tours, but you can't do it all. I would settle for Machu Picchu first (not with the motos, too many days not using them), then head to closest jungle area and Sacred Valley.
