Peru Overland

PERU - Southern Route Guided Overlanding Expedition
Lima, Nasca, Cusco, Puno and Arequipa, in a general outline are the main cities to drive along the Southern Route of Peru. It can be done all in a roundtrip or by sections choosing different combinations depending on starting point or interests. It should be emphasized that our headquarters are in Lima so we will charge a dead freight if the RV is dropped off or starts at a different location. Additionally, Amazon rainforest itineraries (Manu, Tambopata, Iquitos) can be added in the end or the beginning of the experience. Anyways, along the route we will use services that we have been able to recognise ourselves, we will organise sightseeing activities and any adventure, nature, archaeology, rural tourism and other tours corresponding to each stop point of the route. The costs of diesel and tolls is assumed directly by the client, we will provide an estimate of what can be spent so the client can prepare a budget.
