PERU CYCLING: The Off The Beaten Trail Option for New Year days: TRANS DESERT PARACAS

PERU CYCLING: The Off The Beaten Trail Option for New Year days: TRANS DESERT PARACAS

The Off The Beaten Trail Option for New Year days: TRANS DESERT PARACAS


When the Paracas Trans desert bike trip was planned the first time we never imagined what was waiting for us. The journey ended to be so rewarding and greatly impressive after living the experience of the desert's secret revealed to us: hidden never seen before ancient geoglyphs lost among the sand dunes.  After that we believe this option fits into the Off The Beaten Trail  for the serious bike touring enthusiasts. We are going to have an experience including fun, good cycling and good touring.

We have organized it in 4 days - 3 nights. It will include: Round trip bus transport from Lima, guide, the bike for the trip across the Paracas National Reserve, camping equipment, food and accommodation the last night at Paracas in a hotel  right in front of the bay with a nice sea view just to don't forget how civilization is like.

The trip goes well organized with guide, navigation equipment, radiocommunication, mechanic support for the bike and first aid in case of need.
All invited to join the desert experience.

Stay and enjoy the New Year's eve with your family and friends. Live this adventure the day after.
Departure: Jan 7th 2011

Globetrooper: When Adventure Turns to Expedition: An Epic Discovery of Peru

The beautiful article written by globetroopers Lauren & Todd after the Butterfly River Expedition.  They both are the Australians that lived the real off the beaten trail experience of a explore and discovery expedition in Peru.  Being the first, from now onward they are part of the legend about this epic journey.
This is the story of the trip from their side. Their thoughts and feelings said the way they better express what was the best exeperience ever lived until now.
Enjoy it.

TRES AÑOS DESPUES: La Expedición Colca - Majes - Camaná

TRES AÑOS DESPUES: La Expedición Colca - Majes - Camaná

De las alturas del Colca al mar.

Esta historia la he terminado de escribir el 6 de diciembre del 2010, al recordar en un momento dado el viaje que hice hace tres años en Diciembre del 2007, esto confirma varias cosas: que soy un poco olvidadizo, que he estado muy ocupado y que soy perezoso para escribir.  Pero nunca es tarde y creo que leerla puede resultar entretenido útil e interesante  para quien se anime a hacer un recorrido casi épico como este.

Debo decir que la historia es larga, abundante en detalles descriptivos y en los recuerdos de las sensaciones vividas durante esa experiencia de viaje de aventura épica.  Disfrútenla como yo lo hice.

La historia está publicada aquí: http://www.scribd.com/doc/44812574/EXPEDICION-COLCA-MAJES-CAMANA-Dic-2007

NO MORE TOURS... TOURISTS NO MORE - NEW FOCUS on Perucycling > “unique off the beaten trail experiences”

NO MORE TOURS... TOURISTS NO MORE -  NEW FOCUS on Perucycling > “unique off the beaten trail experiences”

Our last expedition was oginally named The Cusco Adventure before departure, after completing the trip "Butterfly River Expedition" was added.

This experience changed our focus and we realized that tours and tourists (including "Susie the tourist") are not the business we are interested in.

The  "real off the beaten trail experience" concept is the one that better describes our feeling and what we like to do.

Places with no crowds of tourists, new routes and destinations. Explore and discovery and real adventure are the leads for our next trips.

The unique concept. There is only one first time for some things in life. The Butterfly River Expedition was that, the two austalians coming with us were the first two foreigners ever seen at the remote native comunity we reached after ten days traveling by car, cycling and a final extremely demanding full day trek through the most beautiful untouched virgin forest. The scenic beauty seen reminded me the forest in the Avatar movie, a thousand times better but real.

The final destination was reached thanks to the help from the native guides we met on the way while we were asking following the clues we had about the Butterfly River comunity (the actual name in native language won't be never revealed, Butterfly River doesn’t exist so named on maps).

The privilege of being the first reaching these beautiful remote sites will be reserved for just few people, the ones joining our next explore and discovery expeditions.

These trips will be repeated just two more times with a limited number of people, adventure and nature lovers in condition to afford the demands of such an experience aside from the basic requirements such as fitness, good mental condition, toughness, endurance, tolerance, positive attitude and love for fun.  Actually we are not interested in money, we are interested in living real off the beaten trail experiences together with the ones in condition to do this with us.

The details of the trip, location, route, GPS track, etc., won't be revealed in public in order to preserve these sites free of the stream of undesired visitors that would follow us and to keep intact nature and original native culture.

So, the options will be:
Expedition 1. Explore and discovery. Be the first, discover the trail. The unique privilege.
Expedition 2. Be the second visiting the place.
Expedition 3. Be last one visiting the place.

Want to go?
Contact me.
When?
Next year, starting from May.
