Peru
Any updates on the roads in Peru?
We are currently in Cuenca and need to travel through Peru (to get to Santiago and then home to New Zealand).
Are there any safe routes through Peru for a 2-up couple on a KTM950 Adventure?

Cheers, Lorraine and Neil

Roads south of Lima are fine. The roads from Piura and Trujillo down to Lima were bad, hopefully someone else can update you on them accurately. It's such a key road I imagine they'll have got it open by now but don't have any actual information on it.

I am currently on the coast just south of Lima and having asked around I have been told that Buses and trucks are now going north from Lima after old roads and tracks have been linked.
But as to which they are is proving difficult to locate, checking on the internet is proving useless at present.
If someone is already in Lima please ask with bus companies which they are using or going to use.
There is however two other north south routes one central 3N and the amazonian 5N with a few links will get you to Ecuador.
I will soon go into Lima for parts and repairs and find my own route but as I am in no rush will see what where when to do.
My preference at this time is to go inland towards Iquitos.

It's pavement from Jaen to the Ecuador border. Steep dirt in Ecuador north for a couple hours, some rutted but generally solid even in rain. Two up, a challenge but probably doable if... Old post from my solo ride through there a few weeks ago: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...119#post560417
Also, post #211 page 11 and #181 page 10:

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.
