About PeruMotors
PeruMotors SRL started in 2004 as a small-scale motorcycle tour company by and for motorbike enthusiasts. Today, PeruMotors is one of the leading motorcycle tour operators in South America. And Peru’s largest BMW motorbike rental company. Still under Dutch management.
In 2010, PeruMotors became an ‘Official partner of BMW Motorrad’.
We are specialized in:
- Worldwide Guided Motorcycle Tours
- Self-Guided Motorcycle Tours in Peru
- Motorcycle Rentals in Peru
- (Self-) Guided 4×4 Tours
… and any possible combination of these services.
PeruMotors has a modern fleet of over 50 motorcycles:
– BMW Motorrad,
– Honda,
– Kawasaki.
Completed with 3 support vehicles with 2 motorcycle trailers.
Our privately owned motorcycle workshop is also located in the city of Arequipa.
Besides our own touring activities, we provide our services to a number of specialized motorcycle tour operators from all over the world: USA, Canada, the Netherlands, Austria, Brazil, Germany, UK, Australia and New Zealand.
We started with our tours in Peru and Bolivia. Today we do tours in the countries you see on the right hand side.
Our ‘Specials’ to the USA, Canada, Europe and New Zealand are recognized by the tourism industry as real adventures in an informal setting.
The 2 founders (Lars Caldenhoven & Geert Boeder) still run the day to day operations in Arequipa. And both are the professional motorcycle guides of PeruMotors.
