Pastoruri Glacier Road (or AN-1251) is an absolute must when riding through northern Peru. Make sure to ride the whole stretch as the views are amazing from start to finish. You can also hike up to over 5,000 m to see the glacier up close. The walk is less than 2km, but doing it in our motorcycle gear was quite a workout.

A scenic detour in the mountains near Huancayo, Peru.
The main road was unexpectedly blocked by a massive truck that clearly miscalculated a tight turn. No way around it, the road was so narrow we couldn’t even squeeze our small motos through. So we pulled up the map, and as luck would have it, found an alternative route through the mountains. A bit rough in places, but way more scenic than anything we had planned.
