The scenic routes through the Andes mountains are fantastic! You will drive many mountain pases that offer you the most beautiful views at every corner, and experience the vast emptiness of the high plateau. Take time to make stops so you can enjoy the breathtaking landscapes. 

There is much to see from Lima along the coast to the south. You drive through a desert-like area and along the way you pass the towns of Paracas, Nazca, Ica, Huacachina and Pisco. A route that is very recommended to do by car.

The valley is irrigated by many rivers that descend through adjacent valleys and gorges. Also you can find here numerous archaeological remains and villages. The valley was of high value to the Incas containing their most important agricultural centers and is still the best place for maize cultivation in Peru. It is a great way to explore this valley by car.

One of the biggest advantages of travelling by car is that you get to places where you would never have ended up otherwise. Above all that, you can stop wherever you want, which sometimes leads to beautiful encounters.
