Peru is one of the best destinations for mountain biking around the world.

The Andes Mountains, is one of the biggest and longest chain of mountains on earth. In Peru you can still find trails in their natural conditions, with none or few human intervention since they were built and where nature and erosion caused by the wind and the rain, have transformed these trails in perfect trails for us.

Frequently Asked Questions
What you should bring?
You are traveling to Peru and on the areas we are going to be riding our bikes there are no or very little options to buy spare parts for your bike. First, we suggest you make a deep clean and maintenance to your bike and check for worn parts such as chain, brake pads, cables and housings. Make sure everything is working properly, especially your brakes. Bring also new tires. We suggest Maxxis High Rollers 2.30/2.35 width and extra protection on the sides (EXO). Tubeless system is also suggested. If you are using tubeless, check it has liquid inside and it is not dry. We carry some bike parts on our tours but there are some parts that are very specific to each bike so you should consider bringing the following parts with you:
- Extra derailleur hanger.
- 2 sets of brake pads.
- 2 Tubes, patches and pump. (We suggest putting tubeless system).
- Some special tools for your bike and a bike multi-tool.
- Back pack with water container. You will need to take your food, tools, water and jacket mainly.
- Rain Jacket, waterproof, for cold mountain weathers.
- Light thermal jacket. This will keep you warm if the temperature
drops considerable. - 4 sets of riding clothes.
- Helmet, gloves and safety glasses. Full face helmet is optional.
- Knee pads. Elbow pads are optional.
- Two pair of riding shoes.
- Light.
- Sun block. Recommended 50 SPF or more.
- Insect repellent.
How should I transport my bike?
The best way to take your bike on the flight is on a bike box. You can choose either a normal hard cardboard box or those hard plastic boxes. In both cases, you should be very careful packing your bike and prevent scratching or some damage to vulnerable parts like the derailleur hanger, brakes, fork, etc. Use lots of padding and your knee and elbow pads to protect your bike and use also plastic strips to tight all the loose parts together. The way we pack our bikes is the following: we first take out the pedals, wheels and remove the disc rotors from the wheels.
Then we take the air from the shocks leaving only 5 or 10 psi. The next step is to put the seat post all the way into the frame or take it out and then take the handlebar away from the stem. We take also derailleur hanger from the frame to prevent damage. Now the bike is ready to put on the box and put all the protections to prevent scratching.
Make sure the bike fits on the box normally, check the area of the bottom of the fork and the back of the bike (derailleur hanger). You can put some of your riding gear such as shoes, knee and elbow pads, helmet, gloves, back pack, etc.
How is the accommodation managed for this tours?
We have selected for our tours three star hotels in which our clients can get a nice quiet room, comfortable and located on the best part of the city. In some cases we select hotels out of the city with a lot of character.
On some of our tours that include camping, we will provide 4-people tents for two person, mattresses and sleeping bags for cold conditions. We also provide all the meals during the camping to ensure a comfortable stay on the outdoors.
