The Best Season for a Peru Motorcycle Tour

What is the ideal time of year for travel in Peru? Remember, when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere it is winter in Peru. There are two main seasons: a rainy season from October to April, alternating with a dry season from May to September. Generally, the most favourable time for a Peru motorcycle tour is from May to September. The seasons vary in the coastal regions, the Andes Mountains and the Amazon rainforest. If you want to visit the archaeological sites, the Altiplano and the Andean Mountains, experience the southern winter season between May and September. With its cold and dry climate, the Andean region offers beautiful sunny days and cool nights. The months of May and June are the most pleasant, when the vegetation is lush green. On the coastline, the climate is temperate during the austral winter, with little rain but there is a persistent humid mist called the "garúa" which also envelops the capital, Lima. In the Amazon rainforest, it is useful to carry a poncho with you. The region is subject to a hot and humid tropical climate. The best time to go there is during the dry season, from June to August. With Vintage Rides, your Peruvian motorcycle trip will always coincide with the most pleasant riding seasons.

Experience Nature’s Splendor on a Motorcycle Tour in Peru

Peru is the third largest country in South America, situated on the continent’s west coast along the Pacific Ocean. Brazil and Bolivia lie to the East, with Ecuador and Colombia to the North and Chile to the South. During your motorbike trip in Peru, you will find a country with three distinct geographic zones. The coast (Costa) is in the West, with the Andes Mountain ranges (Sierra) and Amazon rainforest (Selva) to the East. Wedged between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes mountains, the coastal region is a long, deserted rocky band. Periodically you will find bustling oases breaking up the otherwise desolate area. Lima, the capital, is located close to the middle of the coastline. The Amazon rainforest is the largest region in Peru, occupying around 60% of the territory. During a motorcycle tour in Peru, you will mainly travel in the region of Sierra: the famous Andes mountain range known for its great diversity of landscape. Its Altiplano is made up of mountains and volcanoes reaching an altitude of more than 6,000m including the Huascarán (6,768 m), Peru's highest peak. It is one of the highest inhabited regions in the world. It is also in this Andean region that we can find impressive canyons, Lake Titicaca, the city of Cusco, and of course, the ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu.

Living History and Culture on a Peru Motorcycle Tour

The history of Peru is one of mystery and enchantment. The big mystery of the Amerindian civilisations hovers over our heads like the large Andean condor. In the 13th century, the Incas, a warrior tribe, founded Cuzco, meaning "the centre of the world" in Quechua language. They began their conquest of neighbouring territories around 1450. The Inca Empire went on to control a vast territory, covering Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador as well as a part of Columbia and Chili. Major agricultural and architectural achievements can be attributed to the Inca, such as the gigantic cities built using big carved stones. The renowned Machu Picchu was constructed in this fashion. The Inca Empire's wealth in terms of gold and silver deposits piqued the interest of the Spanish, who landed in Peru in the beginning of the 16th century. In 1535, the Spanish conqueror Francisco Pazarro founded the "City of the Kings", which today is known as Peru. Spanish colonisation continued until Peru’s independence in 1824, when the country was liberated by the Venezuelan Simon Bolivar and Argentinian José de San Martin. Today the traces of ancient civilisation are everywhere, you will see them through the ruins, the crafts and in the daily life. We look on with dreamlike wonder at the geometric designs of Nazca, pondering unanswerable questions. Are these massive drawings the work of ancient astronomers? Do they have practical or ritual significance? Or are they simply the work of mad artists? Your motorcycle trip in Peru will bring you face to face with history in a whole new way.
