Driving a car in Peru - road conditions route Arequipa - Puno - Cusco

Описание: We were hearing so many different opinions on whether it's possible to drive a car in Peru or if it's absolute madness and we've decided right from the start that we wanted to give it a shot!
Our route: Arequipa, Chivay, Colca Canyon / Mirador Cruz del Condor, Puno, Cusco, Sacred Valley - Ollantaytambo, Cusco, Rope Brigdge, Espinar, Nationalpark Salinas y Aguada Blanca, Arequipa

We made this video to give you a little impression on the road conditions and what it's like to drive a car in that country.
There are still some things to consider before renting out a car in Peru. Not only the height of the landscape you're driving through should be considered but also if it's really necessary to get a 4WD. More information, also about road conditions and tips on how to plan your route and what you should be paying attention to when renting a car, can be found on our latest blog post.
