border crossing
at Huaquillas / Tumbes on the coast
You have to cancel the motorcycle at customs, which is around 2 or 3 km inland on the road #25. Look for Via Chacras and Aduana on the left side when you approach the border.
After canceling your bike follow the signs to Peru. You don’t have to go to migration in Ecuador to get the exit stamp. It is on Peruan side. The border station in Peru is new and tidy. No helpers or other people hanging around.
The counters to exit Ecuador and to enter Peru are at the migration next to each other.
Same procedure as every time. You have to buy an insurance, which was quite expensive. 35,- USD for one month.
Everything, from searching for customs in Ecuador, until I was done in Peru lasted about 2 hours.
You might also read the experiences from Adrian and Lauren. They crossed at Macará and were not that lucky.
fees:
35,- USD for the insurance
Peru 2
We entered Peru at Copa Canana at Lake Titicaca. It is a smaller border station, but it can take a while as there are crossing a lot of buses. But everything was easy. They don’t ask for insurance. Regarding my accident it is recommended to ask, where you can buy one.
