This trip is for intermediate to advanced riders ONLY. You'll need to be generally comfortable riding all types of terrain in the singletrack realm. Technical features are common here, along with rock gardens and some steeper sections with some exposure.
There is also some climbing on this trip, so make sure you're comfortable with a couple of 500 metre climbs thrown in the mix.
It's important to note that this trip operates at higher altitudes (above 3000 metres). Having a high level of fitness is important!
Due to the varied terrain and mix of tech, flow and occassional climb, 150mm of travel front and back is best, with descending focused geometry while still allowing for a comfortable climb. Our pick - A Zerode Katipo!
A mix of single track - high tussock land and ridgeline. Some sections of trail are rocky, with stones, and there's some bike park flow thrown in for good measure.
Some sections of trail in this area are over 500 hundreds of years old - orginally put there as narrow, steep and traversing walking trails by the Incas themselves.
This trip starts and ends in Cusco. You can arrive at any time on Day 1 of the trip. All flights into Peru arrive into Lima. Then it's a short, 1 hour flight to Cusco. Some arrivals into Lima might mean either an overnight stay in Lima or a few hours to wait in Lima airport to the onward flight to Cusco.
For flights home, we recommend booking them no later than 1pm on the last day.
Visas are currently not required for Australian, New Zealand, US, Canadian or UK/EU passport holders wishing to visit Peru. If you are outside these regions, please check with your embassy. You can also check the Visa HQ website for up todate information.
