What is it like to drive a motorcycle in Cusco?

Driving through Cusco, as in the whole country, is chaos. The traffic lights are located on the other side of the street, so it is common to miss them and skip them. In single file lanes, you will see two and even three vehicles circulating. The horn is used to signal any maneuver and the turn signals are only used by the friendliest truckers. It is essential to use the GPS, but you have to be careful because sometimes it indicates a street where instead of a road there is a staircase. As for its roads, they are full of stray animals, children playing or speed bumps. Most of them are not in good condition. It is recommended not to drive at night and the use of a helmet is mandatory.
