From:
Ride deep into the Andes. Explore remote trails. Push your limits.
We have been exploring and scouting trails throughout the Cordillera Negra, Cordillera Blanca, and the Conchucos region since the late 1990s.
Over the years, we have spent countless days riding and exploring these remote mountains. We have taken wrong turns, followed trails that seemed to disappear, and sometimes even gotten lost—but every one of those experiences helped us learn the terrain and discover places that most riders never see.
After decades of exploring Huaraz and returning to these mountains again and again, we have developed an Enduro adventure built around remote trails, high-altitude riding, ancient paths, and incredible mountain landscapes.
This is not a typical mountain bike trip.
You’ll ride through remote areas, high mountain passes, ancient trails, technical terrain, and massive Andean landscapes, often far from the usual tourist routes. The altitude and rugged terrain will challenge both your fitness and your technical riding skills.
If you love remote locations, big mountains, ancient trails, high-altitude riding, and pushing your limits, this is the adventure for you.
And because every rider is different, we can also create a custom Huaraz Enduro trip around your experience, fitness, riding style, and goals.
Tell us what you want to ride. We’ll build the adventure around you.
Ride remote. Ride high. Explore Huaraz from the saddle.
All about the

Ancient Trails. High Mountains. Massive Descents.
Huaraz is surrounded by one of the most spectacular mountain landscapes in Peru, making it an incredible destination for outdoor adventure and mountain biking.
Here, the Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Negra create an extraordinary playground for Enduro riding. From the trails, you’ll have spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and, on clear days, the snow-capped Huascarán, the highest mountain in Peru at 6,768 meters (22,205 ft).
We have selected trails throughout both mountain ranges, with routes starting as high as 4,700 meters (15,420 ft) and descending deep into the valleys around Huaraz.
The terrain changes dramatically as you lose elevation. You’ll ride through high-altitude landscapes, rocky mountain trails, ancient paths, technical sections, and remote valleys, with the scenery transforming as you descend from the high Andes.
But the adventure doesn’t stop in Huaraz.
This tour also takes us to the mountains around Lima, where we’ll ride some of the most spectacular Enduro and Downhill terrain near the Peruvian coast.
One of the highlights is the legendary Olleros descent, a massive route that drops from the high Andes toward the Pacific coast, combining ancient mountain trails, technical terrain, and an extraordinary change in landscape.
The tour also gives us the opportunity to experience Peru’s incredible archaeological heritage. Throughout the journey, we’ll encounter ancient pre-Inca and Inca sites, some dating back thousands of years, adding another dimension to the riding experience.
From the high mountains of Huaraz to the enormous descents above Lima, this is a trip built around altitude, exploration, ancient trails, technical riding, and massive elevation loss.
Ride high in Huaraz. Descend the Andes above Lima. Follow ancient trails.

1DAY 1:
Arrival in Lima
Arrival in Lima
Most international flights from North America and Europe arrive in Lima late in the evening, typically between 10:00 p.m. and midnight.
When you arrive, our driver will be waiting for you at the airport with a sign displaying your name, ready to welcome you to Peru and take you directly to your hotel.
Your accommodation will be in Miraflores, one of Lima’s most popular and convenient areas for visitors, located near the Pacific coast and surrounded by restaurants, cafés, and other services.
After a long international journey, all you need to do is arrive, relax, and get some rest. Your Peruvian mountain bike adventure starts tomorrow.
2DAY 2:
Transfer to Huaraz & Afternoon Rides
Transfer to Huaraz & Afternoon Rides
Welcome to the high Andes. Two mountain ranges. Two descents to start the adventure.
Early in the morning, our shuttle will take you to the airport for the short flight to Huaraz. After approximately 45 minutes in the air, we’ll arrive in the heart of the Andes, where our team will be waiting to take you to the hotel and help you settle in.
After check-in, we’ll have lunch and get ready for our first afternoon of riding in Huaraz.
We’ll ride two different trails, one in the Cordillera Negra and another in the Cordillera Blanca, giving us our first taste of the incredible variety of terrain this region has to offer.
These first descents are designed to get our bikes, bodies, and minds ready for an epic week of high-altitude Enduro riding.
Ride 1 – Cordillera Negra
- Distance: 10.8 km
- Descent: 1,000 m
- Climb: 27 m
- Maximum elevation: 4,015 m
- Riding time: approximately 1 hour
Ride 2 – Cordillera Blanca
- Distance: 12.2 km
- Descent: 600 m
- Climb: 15 m
- Maximum elevation: 3,980 m

Two mountain ranges, two completely different landscapes, and our first 1,600 meters of accumulated descent.
After the rides, we’ll return to the hotel to relax and get ready for the week ahead.
Dinner: 7:00 p.m.
Two cordilleras. Two descents. The Huaraz Enduro adventure begins.
3DAY 3:
Puyas Trail and Pariacoto Mega Enduro
Puyas Trail and Pariacoto Mega Enduro
Our first epic day in Huaraz. Two massive descents. More than 3,600 meters of elevation loss.
We’ll leave Huaraz early in the morning and head high into the Cordillera Negra, climbing to approximately 4,400 meters (14,435 ft) for our first ride of the day: the spectacular Puyas Trail.
This route takes us through the land of the famous Puya Raimondii, one of the most impressive plants found in the high Andes. These enormous plants can grow flower stalks reaching up to 10 meters (33 ft) high and are famous for flowering only once during their lifetime, making the opportunity to ride through this extraordinary landscape truly special.
The trail itself is just as impressive. Much of the route is fast, flowing, and incredibly fun, with beautiful high-altitude scenery all around us. We’ll eventually reach the small village of Cajamarquilla, a quiet Andean community where it feels like time has stood still.
After lunch, we’ll get ready for the second and much bigger ride of the day.
Ride 2 – Pariacoto Mega Enduro
From the mountains, we’ll begin the Pariacoto Mega Enduro, an incredible descent following an ancient mountain route traditionally used by local herders, who travel these paths each year in search of greener pastures for their livestock.
This is a massive, never-ending descent, with more than 2,500 meters of elevation loss.
The trail constantly changes character. Some sections are fast and flowing, while others become tight, technical, and demanding, with rocky terrain and challenging lines that will test your riding skills.
With more than 2,500 meters of descent, 21 kilometers of trail, and a huge variety of terrain, Pariacoto is exactly the kind of riding we love at Inkas Adventures: long, remote, challenging, and far beyond the usual tourist routes.
Ride Details
Ride 1 – Puyas Trail
- Distance: 14 km
- Descent: 1,150 m
- Climb: 85 m
- Maximum elevation: 4,370 m

Two mountains. Two very different trails. One epic day in Huaraz.
4DAY 4:
Epic Carhuaz Enduro
Epic Carhuaz Enduro
A new trail. 1,780 meters of descent. Incredible views of Huascarán.
Today we ride one of our most exciting discoveries in the Cordillera Negra—a trail we found and began developing in 2024.
We’ll leave our hotel in Huaraz and shuttle toward Carhuaz, before continuing high into the mountains to reach the top of the Cordillera Negra at approximately 4,580 meters (15,030 ft).
From the high Andes, we’ll begin a long and varied descent, connecting different trails and lines as we make our way all the way down toward the valley.
The terrain changes constantly throughout the ride. We’ll encounter rocky sections, loose terrain, technical lines, flowing singletrack, and natural obstacles, while passing through small Andean villages and ancient pre-Inca archaeological sites along the way.
And throughout the descent, we’ll have spectacular views of Huascarán, the highest mountain in Peru at 6,768 meters (22,205 ft), rising dramatically across the valley.
With almost 1,800 meters of elevation loss, this is a serious Enduro descent—and one that perfectly represents what we love about exploring Huaraz: remote mountains, ancient trails, new discoveries, and huge descents.
We’ll stop for lunch near the end of the ride before returning to our hotel in Huaraz to relax and recover.
Ride Details
- Distance: 16 km
- Descent: 1,780 m
- Climb: 135 m
- Maximum elevation: 4,580 m
- Riding time: approximately 3 hours

5DAY 5:
Mataquita, Chavin & Radian Lake
Mataquita, Chavin & Radian Lake
Three different descents. Two mountain ranges. Ancient trails and spectacular Cordillera Blanca views.
Today we explore three different mountain bike trails in the Cordillera Negra and Cordillera Blanca, combining fun Enduro riding with some of the most spectacular landscapes around Huaraz.
We’ll leave early in the morning and head into the mountains, where our first descent begins.
Ride 1 – Mataquita
Our first ride starts high in the mountains at approximately 3,900 meters (12,795 ft).
From here, we begin a long descent of around 1,000 meters, following a combination of ancient mountain trails, natural singletrack, rocky sections, and flowing terrain as we make our way toward the valley.
Along the way, we’ll pass through small Andean communities and experience a side of Huaraz that most visitors never see.
Ride 2 – Chavin
After our first descent, we’ll continue to our second ride: Chavin.
This shorter but very fun descent takes us through another spectacular mountain environment, with approximately 600 meters of elevation loss.
The trail combines technical sections, natural obstacles, rocky terrain, and fast-flowing lines, giving us a completely different riding experience from the morning.
As we descend, we’ll continue through the traditional Andean landscape, surrounded by enormous mountains and remote communities.
Ride 3 – Laguna Radian
Our final ride of the day takes us to Laguna Radian, one of the increasingly popular viewpoints in the Huaraz region.
The lagoon has become a must-visit destination for visitors to Huaraz, thanks to its spectacular panoramic views across the Cordillera Blanca and its impressive snow-capped peaks.
But we’re not just here for the views.
From approximately 3,910 meters, we’ll begin a 960-meter descent through ancient mountain terrain, combining technical sections, natural singletrack, and flowing lines as we make our way down from the highlands.
After spending the day riding through remote mountains, small Andean communities, and ancient paths, the final descent from Laguna Radian gives us an incredible combination of mountain biking and scenery.

6DAY 6:
Kurnicancha Mega Downhill
Kurnicancha Mega Downhill
The biggest descent of the Huaraz section. From 4,710 meters toward the coast.
Today is another epic day of riding and the biggest descent of the Huaraz section of the tour.
After a nutritious breakfast, we’ll pack our bags and begin our journey back toward Lima. But before leaving Huaraz, there is one massive ride still waiting for us.
We’ll shuttle high into the Cordillera Negra, following a demanding mountain road that takes us to approximately 4,710 meters (15,450 ft) above sea level.
This is another trail we discovered in 2024, and reaching the starting point is an adventure in itself.
At the top, we’ll be surrounded by incredible 360-degree views. Looking east, we’ll have spectacular panoramas of the glaciers and snow-capped peaks of the Cordillera Blanca. Looking west, the mountains stretch dramatically toward the Pacific coast.
And then we start riding.
The Kurnicancha Mega Downhill
This will be the longest and biggest descent of the entire Huaraz section.
From the high Andes, we’ll begin an enormous downhill journey through constantly changing terrain, following ancient mountain trails as we lose elevation toward the coast.
The descent is long, remote, and demanding, with rocky terrain, technical sections, natural obstacles, and spectacular changes in landscape.
Halfway through the ride, we’ll reach a small Andean village where we can refill our hydration packs, take a break, and recharge before continuing the descent.
Then it’s back on the bikes.
We’ll keep descending toward lower elevations, watching the landscape transform from the high Andes into the dry mountains and valleys leading toward the Pacific coast.
Few mountain bike experiences can match the feeling of starting above 4,700 meters and spending hours descending through an enormous mountain landscape toward the coast.
Once we reach the end of the trail, our bus will be waiting to take us to Lima, where we’ll check into our hotel and get ready for the final riding day of the tour.
Because the adventure isn’t over yet.
Tomorrow, we finish the tour with the legendary Olleros descent.

7DAY 7:
Olleros Downhill
Olleros Downhill
The final ride. The legendary Olleros descent. From the Andes to the coast.
After six days of riding through the high mountains of Huaraz, today we head out for the grand finale of our adventure: the legendary Olleros Downhill.
This is one of the most iconic mountain bike descents in Peru and the perfect way to finish our Huaraz Enduro experience.
We’ll start high in the Andes and begin a long descent through ancient mountain trails, rocky terrain, technical sections, natural obstacles, and constantly changing landscapes.
What makes Olleros so special is the scale of the descent.
As we lose thousands of meters of elevation, the landscape changes dramatically. The high Andean environment gradually gives way to the dry and rugged mountains of the Peruvian coast, creating an incredible transition from the Andes toward the Pacific.
The riding eventually comes to an end in the mountains, but the adventure doesn’t stop there.
Once we finish the descent, our bus will be waiting for us. We’ll load the bikes and continue toward the Pacific coast, where we’ll finish the day in the best possible Peruvian way: enjoying a famous ceviche by the sea.
After a week of glaciers, high-altitude trails, ancient paths, remote communities, technical descents, and thousands of meters of elevation loss, sitting by the ocean with a fresh ceviche will be the perfect reward.
Olleros Downhill
- Starting elevation: approximately 3,500 m
- Elevation loss: more than 2,000 m
- Terrain: Ancient trails, rocky sections, technical terrain, natural obstacles
- Finish: Olleros / coastal mountains
- Final destination: Pacific coast
Start in the Andes. Follow ancient trails. Descend thousands of meters. Finish with ceviche by the sea.
Olleros. The final descent. The perfect ending to your Huaraz Enduro adventure.
8DAY 8:
Free Day in Lima & Airport shuttle
Free Day in Lima & Airport shuttle
Take a day off. Enjoy Lima. Get ready for the journey home.
After an incredible week of mountain biking, today is all about rest and enjoying Lima at your own pace.
You’ll have a free day in Miraflores, one of Lima’s most popular and convenient areas for visitors. After several days of high-altitude riding and long descents, this is the perfect opportunity to slow down, relax, and enjoy the city.
You can spend the day exploring the neighborhood, relaxing at a café, enjoying a long lunch, or simply taking some time to recover before your flight.
Miraflores offers plenty of restaurants, cafés, shops, parks, and places to enjoy the local atmosphere, all within easy reach of your hotel.
Later in the day, our team will organize your private transfer to Lima International Airport, making sure you arrive with plenty of time for your flight home.
After an unforgettable adventure through the Cordillera Blanca, Cordillera Negra, and the mountains around Lima, it’s time to say goodbye to Peru—with tired legs, great memories, and hopefully a strong desire to come back for another ride.
Rest. Explore Lima. Enjoy one last taste of Peru. Then head home.
Until the next adventure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What you should bring?
You’re coming to ride in some of the most remote and spectacular areas of Peru, where bike shops and spare parts may be unavailable or very limited. Being properly prepared can make a big difference during your trip.
Prepare Your Bike Before the Trip
Before traveling to Peru, we strongly recommend having your bike thoroughly cleaned, inspected, and serviced.
Check all components for wear and make sure everything is working properly, especially your brakes, drivetrain, suspension, and wheels.
Pay particular attention to:
- Chain
- Brake pads
- Cables and housings
- Tires
- Brake and shifting systems
- Suspension
- Bearings and other worn components
If any component is close to the end of its service life, replace it before your trip. It is much easier to deal with maintenance at home than on a remote mountain trail.
Tires & Tubeless Setup
We recommend bringing new or nearly new tires suitable for technical mountain terrain. For most of our rides, we recommend tires around 2.40–2.50″ wide with good sidewall protection, such as Maxxis tires with EXO, DD, DH or equivalent protection.
A tubeless setup is strongly recommended.
If you already use tubeless tires, check that your sealant is fresh and has not dried out before your trip. We also recommend carrying a spare tube even if you ride tubeless.
Spare Parts & Tools
We carry a selection of common bike parts and tools on our tours, but some components are specific to each bike and can be difficult to find in Peru.
We strongly recommend bringing the following:
- 1 spare derailleur hanger specific to your bike
- 2 sets of brake pads
- 2 spare inner tubes, even if you use tubeless
- Tire patches and a pump
- Tubeless repair plugs and a tubeless tool
- A bike multi-tool
- Any special tools required for your particular bike
- Other bike-specific spare parts you may need
If your bike uses a proprietary component or unusual standard, bring a spare whenever possible.
Riding Gear
For the riding itself, we recommend bringing:
- Helmet, gloves, and riding glasses
- Full-face helmet — optional, but recommended for more technical Downhill and Enduro rides
- Knee pads
- Elbow pads — optional
- Two pairs of riding shoes
- At least four sets of riding clothes
- Small backpack or hydration pack with a water reservoir
- Waterproof rain jacket
- Lightweight thermal jacket for colder mountain temperatures
- Headlamp or bike light
- Sunblock — SPF 50 or higher
- Insect repellent
Your backpack should have enough space for the essentials you may need during the day, including water, food, basic tools, an extra layer, and your rain jacket.
Be Ready for Changing Conditions
Peru’s mountains can take you through dramatic changes in altitude, temperature, weather, and terrain, sometimes during the same ride.
A warm, sunny morning can turn into cold, windy, or rainy conditions at higher elevations. Being prepared with the right clothing and equipment will allow you to enjoy the ride comfortably and safely.
Come prepared. We’ll take care of the rest—and get you riding
How do I transport my bike?
The best way to bring your mountain bike to Peru is to transport it in a bike box or bike travel case. You can use a sturdy cardboard bike box or a hard-shell bike case. Both options can work well, as long as your bike is properly packed and protected.
Take your time when packing your bike. The goal is to prevent scratches, impacts, or damage to vulnerable components such as the derailleur, derailleur hanger, brakes, fork, and frame.
Use plenty of padding around the bike and protect any parts that could come into contact with each other. Your riding equipment can also be useful as additional padding—knee pads, elbow pads, riding clothes, gloves, and other soft gear can help protect the bike while saving space in your luggage.
We also recommend using Velcro straps, zip ties, or similar straps to keep loose components securely together inside the box.
How We Pack Our Bikes
This is the basic process we use when preparing a mountain bike for air travel:
1. Remove the pedals and wheels.
Take the pedals off and remove both wheels.
2. Remove the disc rotors.
We recommend removing the brake rotors from the wheels and protecting them separately to prevent them from being bent or damaged during transport.
3. Prepare the suspension.
If required by your bike or travel case, adjust the suspension according to the manufacturer’s recommended procedure for air travel and transportation. Do not simply release air from the suspension without checking the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Lower or remove the seatpost.
Depending on the bike and the available space in the box, lower the seatpost completely into the frame or remove it.
5. Remove the handlebar.
Take the handlebar off the stem and secure it carefully to the frame.
6. Protect the derailleur and hanger.
We recommend removing the derailleur hanger when appropriate for your bike and travel case, or otherwise protecting the derailleur and hanger very carefully. These are particularly vulnerable to impacts during transportation.
7. Protect the bike.
Wrap the frame, fork, rear triangle, and other vulnerable areas with appropriate padding. Pay particular attention to the bottom of the fork, rear derailleur area, and other parts that may come into contact with the bike box or other components.
8. Place the bike inside the box or case.
Make sure the bike fits properly and that nothing is being forced into position. Check that the fork, rear triangle, derailleur area, and other vulnerable parts have enough clearance and protection.
Make the Most of Your Bike Luggage
Depending on the size and weight limits of your bike box or travel case, you can use some of the available space to carry your riding equipment.
Items such as riding shoes, knee and elbow pads, helmet, gloves, riding clothes, and your hydration backpack can often be packed around the bike to provide additional protection while making better use of the available space.
Take your time and pack carefully. A well-protected bike is much more likely to arrive in Peru ready to ride.
And once you arrive, we’ll take care of getting you and your bike ready for the trails.
How is the accommodation managed for this tour?
For our tours, we carefully select comfortable three-star hotels where you can relax and recover after a day on the trails. We look for quiet, comfortable rooms in convenient locations, ideally close to the main attractions, restaurants, and services you may want to enjoy during your stay.
In some destinations, we choose hotels outside the city because they offer something special—unique character, beautiful surroundings, or a more authentic experience that fits the adventure.
Camping Nights
Some of our tours also include camping in remote areas, allowing us to spend the night closer to the trails and experience the mountains in a completely different way.
When camping is included, we provide four-person tents for two people, giving you plenty of space and comfort, along with mattresses and sleeping bags suitable for cold mountain conditions.
We also provide all meals during camping nights, including dinner and breakfast, so you can relax and enjoy the experience without having to worry about carrying or preparing your own food.
Whether you are staying in a comfortable hotel or camping under the stars, we make sure you have a good place to rest and recharge for the next day’s adventure.
Why you should ride with us?
We Are Locals
There is something special about riding with people who know the mountains from the saddle.
We know the trails, the terrain, the communities, and the conditions. We know where to ride, how to adapt the routes to different levels, and how to find the lines that make each trail fun.
Most importantly, we are here. We ride these mountains ourselves.
We Are Professional Mountain Bikers
Mountain biking isn’t just our business—it is our passion and our way of life.
Our team has decades of experience riding and racing in Peru, with more than 14 Peruvian National Championship titles across XC and Downhill, as well as podium results at the Pan-American Championships and the UCI Masters World Championships.
Our experience goes beyond racing. We spend our time riding, exploring, discovering new trails, and constantly improving our knowledge of the mountains.
You ride with people who truly understand mountain biking.
We Are Constantly Exploring
We don’t simply ride the same routes over and over again.
We are constantly searching for new trails, ancient paths, forgotten roads, new connections, and new lines throughout Peru.
Some of the routes we ride are trails we have discovered and developed ourselves. This spirit of exploration allows us to create experiences that go beyond the standard tourist routes.
Come ride the Peru we know—not just the Peru everyone else rides.
We Practice Sustainable Tourism
Responsible and sustainable tourism is one of our core principles.
We work closely with local communities, businesses, and individuals to create tourism opportunities that contribute to local economies while respecting the environment and local culture.
We believe that riding through these communities is a privilege. We respect the people, traditions, landscapes, and places where we operate, and we strive to minimize our environmental and cultural impact.
Your Safety Comes First
Mountain biking in Peru can take you into remote and challenging environments, so preparation and safety are essential.
Our guides have training in Wilderness First Aid and CPR, and we carry essential safety and communication equipment on our trips. On selected remote routes, we also have access to satellite communication and maintain connections with emergency and evacuation services when available.
Our vehicles, bikes, tools, and safety equipment are carefully prepared for the conditions we encounter on the trails.
We cannot eliminate the inherent risks of mountain biking, but we take preparation, safety, and emergency response seriously.
Ride a Bike Built for the Trails
When you choose one of our bike-supported programs, you can ride a Pivot Mach 6 mountain bike, with sizes available to accommodate different riders.
The Mach 6 is designed for the kind of terrain we ride in Peru, including technical singletrack, rocky descents, steep terrain, natural obstacles, and long mountain adventures.
We take care of the bike so you can focus on the riding.
We Know Where to Eat
Peru is famous around the world for its incredible cuisine—and we know where to find it.
Food is an important part of our trips. From local dishes and traditional Andean food to some of the outstanding restaurants in Cusco and other destinations, we want you to experience Peru through its flavors as well as its trails.
We also provide quality snacks and refreshments during our rides, helping you keep your energy up throughout the day.
Because after a big day of riding, good food tastes even better.
Ride With People Who Love What They Do
At the end of the day, this is what Inkas Adventures is all about.

And when you ride with us, you don’t just come to Peru to ride a bike—you come to experience Peru the way we know it.
Ride with locals. Ride with racers. Explore beyond the usual trails. Discover Peru from the saddle.
Do you rent bikes?
Yes! We offer Pivot Mach 6 mountain bikes for rent in Cusco, a great option for riders who want to explore Peru without bringing their own bike.
Our rental fleet includes 11 Pivot Mach 6 bikes, available in different sizes. These bikes are versatile and well suited to the type of terrain we ride in Peru, from technical XC and All Mountain to Enduro and Downhill.
