IMPORTANT NOTICEDid you know that not all vehicles in Peru are licensed and insured to carry tourists? Unfortunately many companies use passenger cars to send their clients down south along the Pan American Highway in order to save costs. As these vehicles do do meet size and safety regulations they are not permitted to carry tourists, thus transporting you illegally. In addition, these vehicles are not properly insured to cover you in the event of an accident. When you book with us, you can rest assured that you will not only ride in comfort but in security as well. All of our vehicles are registered and have permission (represented by the orange stripe on the license plate) to carry tourists throughout Peru. Our units are 100% insured and equipped with global positioning systems for your security. |
