We understand the importance of flexibility, affordability, and convenience when it comes to travel, which is where we put our efforts to ensure you a comfortable journey.

With a few basic travel rules, it is not at all dangerous to travel in Peru. These include not going to certain places in the middle of the night, being careful with your personal belongings in crowds and not showing signs of wealth. Peruvians are very welcoming to travellers who introduce themselves and are respectful of their customs.

It will probably take a few hours to get used to the traffic rules and customs. When you drive our Campervans at Camper Peru, you will probably go on the road on not at all crwoded highways This will give you the liberty to drive at your own velocity avoiding the rush of the cities.

There is no national legislation that regulates camping. So you can stay overnight anywhere. Again, communication is most important (with the owner of the neighbouring field, with the villagers, etc.).
Avoid the beaches of the north coast between Lima and Chiclayo and prefer private mini-campsites in the villages.

Travel light! We provide bedding and crockery as well as the necessary tools. In addition, you will find alpaca jumpers, general clothing and all other necessary items!

Yes, and friendly! But for that you have to get in touch with them. They are rather shy people (in the Andes) and they have their hearts in their hands. They will be happy to invite you for a coffee, a soup or another snack, but in their custom everything is exchanged (symbolic amount or other). But beware of the clever ones who would like to take advantage of this and always keep a watchful eye!

Yes, our vans include a gas cooker, as well as a fridge, sink, water, all necessary dishes and bedding (except for the roof tent) and basic tools.
We also hire out camping chairs and a camping table on request, as well as other accessories, such as a baby seat.

First of all, consider the time factor and the purpose of your trip. In order to have enough time to live it, to discover with pleasure all the richness of Peru, do not count more than 150km per day on average. Indeed, the idea is to drive slowly (60km/h) in order to enjoy the landscapes! We are happy to help you with any question regarding your route!

For a trip from Lima to Cusco, count min 2 weeks for example. For one week, stay in the region of Cusco and Titicaca.
For 3 weeks, you can really get to know the people who are not affected by tourism and include the north of Peru, or the whole south.

Our campers do have an outdoor shower. Often our travellers plan a stop in a small hotel every 2-3 nights, or rent a shower in a hotel. There is also water and showers at most petrol stations.

We are a camper van rental company, organizing roadtrips for more than 20 years with our sister company Pasión Andina. We can also also offer transport services with driver. We are located in Cusco, the base for all our vehicles. We can take you to or pick up the vehicle in another city on request.
