We don't cross any borders today... An all day ride through Eastern France, close to the German border, and you will love it. What a great ride today through beautiful charming villages, surrounded by numerous wineries, castles and high mountains, like Gran Balon. Although this part is French, it changed several times with neighboring country Germany. You can still see the German influences in the local architecture.
We stay in a very nice hotel in 'the middle of nowhere', with a fantastic restaurant for dinner.

- Distance: 240 km (150 mile)

Day 7 --- Innertkirchen (Switzerland) - Chiavenna (Italy)
- Distance: 200 km (120 mile)
A long day lies ahead of us. The day starts with an excursion to the 'Aareschlucht'. We go by train, which stops in front of the hotel. We get off the train in the strangest train station you've ever seen, build in the mountain. It is easy to walk the exceptional gorge of 1.400 meters long and 200 meters deep. Afterwards we take the train back to the hotel, and we are on the motorcycles again. We take some of the best roads in the Alps, like the Grimsel-, Furka-, Oberalp- and Splugen Pass. It feels like a very long roller coaster.
At the end of the riding day we pass the border into Italy, our 5th country on the tour. Our hotel is in the town of Chiavenna, a nice old walled city in Northern Italy.

This is a spectacular ride all the way uphill to the absolute highlight of this tour: the Stelvio Pass. Here we will have a well-deserved Bratwurst for lunch, with a 'finger licking' view.
Then the descend over about 60 (!) hairpins. Be aware of the hundreds of our colleague motorcyclists. Downhill, just before the border with Austria, we take a picture of the world famous church tower, standing in the middle of a lake. In Austria we follow our way to the wintersports town of Serfaus. We stay 2 nights in a nice family hotel.
The next day we leave the motorcycles at the parking. It is time to explore the amazing mountainous surroudings of the town. Or stay in town, or maybe relax at the hotel. It is never boring in Serfaus.

From the Veluwe, we ride alone the river IJssel up north to visit a small, but very picturesque old fishers village on the Zuiderzee.

Is Peru safe to travel on your own?
YES !!! The roads are good and the people are very friendly. Of course, you'll have to be cautious, like you would be at home, or in any other part of the world.
South America (Peru) doesn't have a good reputation, but in our 12 years in business, not even one of our guests experienced big problems.
And, by the way, we live ourselves with our families for more than 12 years in this country. So far without any major problems with criminality.
Is the airfare included in the price?
No. Our guests are coming from all over the world and as a tour operator we are not big enough to bargain good prices with the airlines. So, you'll have to arrange your flight to Arequipa (and back). We will provide you the exact dates for arrival at and departure from Arequipa.
To which airport do I have to fly for a tour?
In general, you'll have to fly to Arequipa, Peru (airportcode: AQP). This city is our homebase. Normally you will fly to Lima, the capital of Peru, and take a domestic flight from there to Arequipa.
Very often the airlines offer the domestic flight from Lima (Peru) to Arequipa (Peru) for a small addition to your international airfare. Ask for it !
How do I make a booking for your tours?
Search for the <BOOKING> tab on the page of the tour you want to book. Fill out the form click <SEND>. We will contact and inform you about the rest of procedure.
I'm not very tall. Is it possible to lower the motorcycle?
Suzuki DR650: Yes, this motorcycles has the possiblity to lower the rear suspension with 5 cm.
BMW F700GS: No, we can only offer an original BMW lowered seat, which lowers the seat height with 3 cm.
BMW F800GS: No, we can only offer an original BMW lowered seat, which lowers the seat height with 3 cm.
BMW R1200GS: No, but we can put the seat in the lowest position.
Is there a spare motorcycle available on the tour?
No.
What happens if I wreck my motorcycle?
Well... with our experience, if the motocycle is wrecked beyond repair, most of the time the rider is not in a good shape to ride a motorcycle anymore. If you are still fit enough to ride, we will try to get the motorcycle back on the road. If this is not possible, we will try to replace the motorcycle. For the time being you'll have to join our mechanic in the support vehicle. Sometimes, on certain routes, the motorcycle guide can give you his motorcycle.
Is any food and/or (soft-) drinks included?
- Self guided tours: the standard breakfast in the hotels is included.
- Guided tours: the standard breakfast in the hotels and the lunches on riding days are included.
Is it likely to suffer from altitude-sickness?
Most of our tours have differences in altitudes between sea-level and about 5.000 meters (16,400 ft.). On average about 50-60% of our guests will suffer some symptoms, like headache, nauseousness, insomnia, etc. Let's say: "flu-like symptoms". It is impossible to predict who will suffer the symptoms and who won't. Fitness and age of the person doesn't seem to matter.
There is a lot you can do to avoid the symptoms: On altitude drink lot's (at least 3 liters / 0,75 a gallon) of non-alcoholic fluids, like water, coca-tea, coffee and soft drinks. And eat chocolate, candy and other sweets.
In severe cases oxigen is needed, but that is quite rare. All hotels on altitude have it available.
Or you can use medication, like Diamox. Our advise is that you don't take any medication, before you have the symptoms. In case of severe symptoms it is even better is to buy 'local stuff' in the Farmacias in Peru.
Everybody will at least notice that they are on altitude, for example while climbing stairs.
Normally your body will be adjusted to the altitude in about 4-5 days. And the symptoms will disappear by itself.
Are the airpoirt transfers in Arequipa included?
Yes ! We will pick you up from the airport, or we will send a taxi to pick you up. And, of course, after the tour we will take you to the airport for your flight home.
What is the best time of the year to pay Peru a visit?
Weatherwise, roughly between March and December, becasue that is the dry season. In the highlands a rain shower can be expected year round.
Do I need a visa for traveling to Peru?
Citizens from most countries in Europe and North and South America can enter Peru with a "Tarjeta Andina de Migración" (TAM). This is a tourist visa which you can get upon entering Peru. Please, check for yourself if you need a visa, or if you can enter with TAM.
And how about a visa for Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Chile and Ecuador?
It is your repsonsibility to get the necessary (tourist) visa(s) for the countries you travel. PeruMotors can not help or assist you with that.
Please, fill out the fields at the bottom of this page.
