Let’s go to MEXICO !!!
PeruMotors goes back to MEXICO in February 2026 to avoid the cold winter at home.
If you are in for a real motorcycle adventure, this is your tour. You will experience the best combination of nature, culture and motorcycling in North America.

Kitty
Group Wallet
To avoid long waits during stops with paying all individually for just a cup of coffee or entrance fees, we normally install a group wallet ('Kitty') for these kind of costs. This makes everybody’s life easier, but only works when everybody participates in this. We suggest to start with a deposit of US$ 50.00 (cash only, please!)
Damage Reduction Insurance (in short !)
Personal injury and death:
All our motorcycles are insured according to the minimum requirements of the Mexican authorities. This means that the rider, his passenger and third parties are covered for medical (!) costs.
Nevertheless, PeruMotors strongly advise their clients to obtain a health insurance with maximum coverage in Mexico for the length of this tour.
Damage to the rental motorcycle and third party property damage:
All our motorcycles are standard insured for damage to the rental motorcycle and for property damage to third parties, with an excess/deductible of max. US$ 600.00. This amount must be paid in cash (!) as a “Security Deposit” for the motorcycle. If you surrender the motorcycle after the tour without any damage, the security deposit will be refunded directly to you.

You arrive in one of the largest cities in the Americas on a serious altitude. In the afternoon your tour guide will do the briefing, and maybe wel can collect the bikes already.

It is a good suggestion to arrive a day (or more) earlier. We experience since the corona pandemic that all (!) airlines make last-minute changes in flights, and have problems with luggage management.
