Exploring Peru by mountain bike means discovering old Inca and pre-Inca trails, archaeological sites, picturesque villages and a range of ecosystems in just a few hours. In the immensity of Colca, in the Arequipa region, these experiences are multiplied thanks to the magnificent natural setting provided by the different circuits suitable for mountain biking.
Some of the itineraries start at the Aguada Blanca National Reserve or from Patapampa, before descending towards Chivay, the small town that stands at the entrance to the valley. From there, groups of cyclists can ride a number of trails and enjoy the traditions of each village along the way.
Mountain biking through this valley, which is home to one of the deepest canyons in the world and whose skies are the natural realm of the condor, is certainly an unmissable experience.
