    What is INCA MOTO ADVENTURES ?

    We are experienced tour operators that have combined the excitement of riding a dualsport bike in a challenging, contrasting and breathtaking land with the fascination of learning about one of the most important cultures in history. Our knowledge of the country, and of all what is involved in the organization of this kind of motorcycle tours comes from years of experience in organizing motorcycle racing events, preparing adventure tours for tourists groups and friends, and coming from a family that simply loves to travel and learn about its home country!

    Along the Misti Volcano, Arequipa.

    .

    What do we offer ?

    We offer you the chance to enjoy a lifetime memorable riding experience as you take part in one of our professionally organized tours. From the casual rider to the experienced enthusiast we guarantee that your expectations will be by far overwhelmed as you feel the excitement on each kilometer along the route.

    There are so many different types of terrain to ride through and so many different ecosystems you will be traveling by. Imagine to ride in a country where you can travel from a Coastal Desert - with dunes like in Africa and strangely shaped mountains that at times resemble the moon - through the Andes Mountains, at more than 4,000 meters above sea level, where Llamas, Alpacas and the majestic Condor will be your hosts; and into the rainforests of the southwestern Amazon, the world’s most biologically diverse region. And imagine what you will find riding in such diverse topographies and ecosystems enriched with a legacy of a culture of more than 2 thousand years old! There simply isn’t a more exciting adventure and richer experience combination!

    Indigenous women of the Andes

    And besides the riding, we will take you to visit the most important world known testimonies of the Incan heritage, like the hidden city of Machu Picchu; the outstanding ruins in Cuzco, the archaeological capital of South America; the unveiled mystery of the Nazca Lines and Geogliphs; the Colca Canyon, the world’s deepest gorge with its countless ancient terraces; among other fascinating excursions and visits. You will be Peru’s most privileged guest as you experience what no other traditional tourist could ever see because INCA MOTO ADVENTURES will take you to the heart of this mysterious country, visiting indigenous peoples of forgotten Andean villages, still sheltering their invaluable Incan heritage...

    The Paracas National Reserve.

    From the coastal desert along the Pacific Ocean...

    Traveling through the Andean roads.

    ...through the high mountain roads along the picturesque Andean scenery....

    ...to the tropical rainforests of the southwestern Amazon.

    The Amazon rainforests.

     

    Why should you ride with us?

    Before making a decision to do a motorcycle tour in Peru with IMA, it may be a good idea that you ask yourself the following questions:

    Do I want to have fun on an off-road bike while at the same time learn about a new country?

    Do I want to see everything plus much, much more from Peru than what a traditional tourists is able to see?

    Do I want to share a fascinating experience with riders from other parts of the world with whom probably I will start up a friendship?
    Do I want to ride in an unbounded land where there are absolutely no riding restrictions?
    Do I want to improve my on-road riding level by learning some simple off-road techniques I will learn while travelling through the dirt sections of the tour?
    Do I want to get the best out of my valuable vacation time by avoiding the typical problems motorcyclists find when traveling through a new country, such as:  
    - Getting a reliable and adequate bike
     
    - Knowing which are the best places to ride to and finding the best road to get there
    - Being sure you’ll always find gas no matter where you go
    - Knowing which are the safe places for having meals
    - Knowing which hotels/lodges provide high standard accommodations
    - Knowing who to contact if you want to take parallel tours
    - Riding your bike freely without having to carry loads of bulky luggage
    - Riding safely knowing that you will be escorted by an experienced staff -besides the other tour members- during the whole tour
    - Having to fix flats all by yourself (and don’t even think in tearing down a tire!)
     

    If your answer to most of these questions is yes, don’t wait any more, book in with us!
