Embark on a 12-day motorcycle expedition across Peru’s wildest landscapes, from the Pacific desert and sand dunes of Paracas and Nazca, through the snow-capped Andes, into the Sacred Valley and ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, and down into the misty Manu Cloud Forest.
This is a diverse, challenging, and exhilarating journey that includes both on-road and off-road riding, Inca ruins, jungle biodiversity, Andean high passes, and immersive cultural experiences. With over 50% of the route on dirt or gravel, this tour is ideal for riders looking to mix adrenaline with awe-inspiring views and history. From flying over the Nazca Lines to spotting the Cock-of-the-Rock in the jungle canopy, every day offers a new dimension of Peru’s beauty.
Arrive in Peru and transfer to your hotel in Lima. Meet your tour leader for a full safety and route briefing before the journey begins.
Transfer south along the Pan-American Highway to the seaside town of Paracas. Take a morning boat tour to the Ballestas Islands, home to sea lions and penguins. In the afternoon, hop on your bikes and take a short practice ride in the desert to get used to the terrain.
Begin the real off-road adventure with a ride through Paracas National Reserve and the dunes of Ica. Enjoy winding trails, dramatic sandscapes, and stunning coastlines before hitting the pavement to Nazca. A beautiful blend of adrenaline and open desert.
Take a morning flight over the world-famous Nazca Lines, then switch gears to visit the Cahuachi ceremonial center and the eerie pre-Inca cemetery of Chauchilla. Learn about ancient burial customs and sacred rituals among the desert ruins.
Ride through ever-changing altitudes as you climb from coastal hills to the Vicuña National Reserve of Pampas Galeras at 4,200m. Wind through spectacular valleys before reaching the town of Abancay, nestled in the Andean foothills.
Continue on well-paved mountain roads through deep gorges, snowy peaks, and colorful landscapes to the imperial Inca city of Cusco. Arrive and check in at your hotel.
Morning visit to Cusco’s historic sites, including Qoricancha, Sacsayhuaman, and Tambomachay. In the evening, board the train from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes at the foot of Machu Picchu.
Early morning visit to Machu Picchu, with a guided tour and free time to explore. After descending to Aguas Calientes, take the train back to Cusco.
Ride dirt tracks past mountain lakes and scenic ridgelines. Visit the Moray Inca site and Maras salt flats, then descend into the Sacred Valley. Continue via gravel roads through the valley to Pisac, surrounded by terraced hills.
Climb through Ninamarca’s pre-Inca tombs and cross the Acjanaco Pass (3,550m) into the Manu Cloud Forest. Descend into the jungle to reach San Pedro, a lush biological haven home to orchids, ferns, and Peru’s national bird—the Cock-of-the-Rock.
Spot the Cock-of-the-Rock on an early forest walk, then ride thrilling dirt roads and winding backcountry routes back to Cusco for your final evening in the Andes.
