Is Machu Picchu the most famous site for motorcycle tours in Peru? It might be the most famous in all of South America, and if so, it's for good reason.
Whether your motorcycle tour or rental in Peru begins in Arequipa, Arica, or Cusco, your arrival in Peru will be laced with fantastic scenery and well-paved roads the whole way. Between that smooth pavement factor and the fantastic food you’ll experience in Peru, an adventure here could be seen as one of the more “luxurious” being offered by RIDE Adventures.
If taking a guided tour, your train ride from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes will typically be arranged during daylight hours. The scenery through the Sacred Valley should not be missed, as it feels like you’re saying goodbye to the rest of the world and sneaking off to a completely secret destination that, despite all its perceived fame, has still not been officially announced to the world.
Because only 400 people per day are allowed to hike to the top of Wayna-Picchu, and there are only a handful of buses that depart at 5:30 in the morning to ascend from Aguas Calientes to the base of Machu Picchu, this option needs to be seized at around 3:30am.
You’ve seen friends’ pictures of Machu Picchu, and heard all the stories about how Hiram Bingham introduced re-discovered The Lost City of the Incas in 1911. When are you going to make your own experience out of it? Be sure to contact us about setting up your motorcycle tour in Peru!
