Important to note the difference between Kombi and Combi.

Kombi is short for the German “Kombinationskraftwagen”, another name for the Volkswagen Type 2 “Bus”. The shorthand “Kombi” became popular in Brazil, a major production hub that exported VWs across South America. The name caught on everywhere, in Peru too.

As VW buses faded into history they were replaced with little low-quality cheap Japanese and Korean vans which were commonly called “Combi”s thanks to a long history of referring to little passenger carrying vans as “Kombi”s.

A real Kombi is this: image
A “combi” is the thing that kills your nearest and dearest.

Tons of combis! In case people are wondering: They’re little vans that seat about 12-18 people and cram at least that many more in the narrow aisle. They’re by far faster than the bus, but they’re pretty crowded and mildly terrifying!

“Eba, eba! Que lástima!” LOL
Looks like a fun game. Are there many kombis in Peru? They’re so rare here in Brazil!
