Distances look short, but altitude, volcano roads, city traffic and weather can make service resets more important than kilometres.
Camper Rules Assistant
Build a country route and get compact allowed/do-not-assume/check cards for overnight rules, LEZ, tolls, documents and winter requirements.
Ecuador
Ecuador motorhome travel depends on SENAE DJT vehicle entry, licence and registration paperwork, Andean road conditions, protected-area rules, city parking and rapid weather changes from coast to volcanoes.
Use formal campgrounds, hosterias, guarded lots, private permission or authorised community tourism stops rather than assuming wild camping is accepted.
Budget for toll roads, secure parking, protected-area access, hosted stops, vehicle paperwork, recovery margins and possible detours around landslides or closures. There is no simple national low-emission sticker for touring motorhomes, but practical limits come from Quito/Cuenca traffic, historic centres, protected areas, beaches and volcano roads.
Peru
Peru motorhome trips need border and altitude planning: temporary vehicle entry, SOAT insurance, foreign-driver rules, protected-area tickets, rainy-season roads and steep Andean routes all matter.
Plan reliable water, waste, parking security and altitude acclimatisation before moving between the coast, Andes and jungle approaches.
Use campings, hospedajes with secure parking, private permission or authorised protected-area sites rather than assuming roadside camping is allowed.
Route budgets should include SOAT insurance, protected-area tickets, paid parking, tolls where present and SUNAT temporary-vehicle paperwork. There is no simple national low-emission sticker for touring motorhomes, but city traffic, parking security, archaeological zones and protected landscapes create access limits.
Documents and insurance
Ecuador
Carry passport with migration entry, accepted driving licence, vehicle registration, rental contract if applicable and SENAE DJT or vehicle tourist-entry evidence.
- SENAE says private or rented tourist vehicles must present passport, driving licence, vehicle registration or rental contract to customs, and the authorised stay follows the tourist stay.
- Do not let the vehicle-stay period, tourist stay, rental permission and exit plan drift apart.
Peru
Carry passport, valid foreign licence or Peruvian licence if required after your permitted period, vehicle registration, ownership or rental permission, SOAT and SUNAT paperwork.
- MTC guidance says foreign drivers can use a valid home licence only during the initial allowed period when an applicable international agreement exists.
- If you are not the owner, your possession or rental document can limit the authorised vehicle-stay period.
