Peru Panamerican in Bad Condition: Impassable
Hello!
Im currently in the middle of a trip on my Suzuki V'Strom 650 from Buenos Aires to Costa Rica.
But, Im stuck in Peru.
Yesterday tried headding north from Lima, but was stopped by the completely impassable destruction of the Panamerican highway by sediment-water flows coming from the mountains. They call them Huaycos, and there is not just one, but many, many of them and more forming by the day throughout the Panamerican in Peru, especially north  . I encountered other bikers with the same dilemma. It is such that I am thinking of driving back south (if I can make it), or shipping the bike out of Lima.
Do not come to or through Peru at least in the next month, if you are expecting to get through. Cuzco and lake Titicaca area are fine as far as I know, but then head back south.
Best of luck,
Jonny
