The Mototaxi Junket: Across Peru On The Worst Vehicle Ever Invented

Our old friends over at The Adventurists are up to their old tricks this year, launching yet another crazy motor-adventure, this time in South America. The same team that brought us the much beloved Mongol Rally will now send intrepid adventurers on a 3500km (2175 mile) journey across Peru. Of course, that description is only half of the story as participants will be traveling in a Mototaxi, which is decribed in the video below as both "the worst vehicle ever invented" and "the perfect machine for adventure."

The Mototaxi Junket, as this ride has been named, will begin in September and will send travelers on some of the worst roads known to man as they cross over the Andes Mountains and through the Amazon Jungle. For just a sample of what to expect, check out the video below and visit the Adventurists' website for further details.

Looks absolutely nuts. I would expect nothing less from these chaps.
