Peru. Is it dangerous?
Hola Amigos,
I've just caned it from Uyuni to Tocopilla on the Chillean coast and I'm going to head north tomorrow hopefully reaching Peru in the next couple of days.
I keep hearing horror stories about riding Peru, mostly robberies. I'm told not to ride at night and keep to the mountains as much as possible.
Well, my bike (and me) doesn't like altitude much and I was intending to go up the coast to Nazca before turning inland to Cuzco.
Is this a completely foolish thing to do? Can anyone offer any advice to an idiot abroad?
Thanks,
Dunc.
