Is it difficult to drive in Peru?

Peru has a huge range of experiences that travellers can enjoy including the magnificent expanse of the Amazon rainforest, the lost Inca city of Machu Picchu, national parks and stunning scenery. Hiring a car in Peru is probably the best way to get around and see all that this fascinating country has to offer.

It's not diffucult to drive safely in Peru, however hiring an SUV like the Toyota Rav4 is worth consideration. A 4x4 will all you to get off the main roads and explore some of the more harder to reach areas. Take extra care when venturing beyond the security of the city limits and check restrictions with the car hire company before planning your route.
