Peru, please be very careful, Farmers blocking the road, Feb 2018
hello everybody,we dont post very often on those forum but we think that it is very important for travelers in peru to know that the potato farmers block the road in the center of peru. some of them are very agressive and throw rock big like a football at me. they have put big and small rock every where on the street. we have to drive for one hundred km at least avoiding rock, tree, tires, fire and much more. since 2 days we always arrive where a tree have fallen or a fire on the street but nobody was there so we just dont bother. but today starting at huanuco and for about 100 km there were a lot of people in the street. so please be careful. we will post photo on facebook later: jujustef
have a safe trip everybody.

i drove through 2 road blocks in peru.
they usually aimed at government and to stop public and comercial traffic.
you stop and ask to go on and they usually let you proceed.
if not you have to wait like the rest of the crowd.
just driving through pisses them off and you get the stones.
slowly,slowly is doing the trick and a bit of spanish helps heaps

We hit a protest and road block today on the PE-3S in Auquibamba
Dozens of trucks stranded because no way of turning around in the mountain roads.
We had to take a 120km dirt detour on the PE 30 to get past this.
No idea what the block is about

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.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. 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.
