Common Terms in Peru

Peaje: Pay Toll Booth. These are for truckers, buses, and general cars, but do not apply to motorcycles. Usually, you may bypass these on the far right, as indicated by a sign. If no sign is apparent, look for someone to signal you as to where to go; sometimes you will be signaled to go through slowly on the right side of the pay booth, sometimes on the left.

Muelle: Speed bump. On the pegs!

Derrumbe: Landslide: Look for rocks on the road…they are always present!
