ATIQUIPA - PUERTO INKA MTB TOUR

ATIQUIPA - PUERTO INKA MTB TOUR


Atiquipa is located on 614k south of Lima, in Arequipa region. Atiquipa is the name of the local town and the name of the National Wildlife Reserve: Lomas de Atiquipa. Lomas are named the ecosystems existing along the Peruvian coast line, they are wild vegetation communities associated to territories with small and medium sized hills facing the winds coming from the ocean with high humidity content that provides the water needed to sustain all living forms existing in these delicate weather dependent environments.
The trails in Lomas de Atiquipa are one the best in the world for mountain biking, offering an amazing hard packed terrain with lots of climbs followed by crazy descents, all this in the middle of an spectacular almost untouched landscape.

Some 3 kilometers south of Atiquipa is Puerto Inka, a beautiful small bay nicely located on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, here exists a hotel offering good accommodation and other facilities. The Puerto Inka name comes from the Inka times, this was a good fishing spot from where fresh fish was taken for the Inka emperor in Cusco. The fresh fish was transported to Cusco by "Chaskis", well trained runners carrying the fish in an organized post system along the trail from the sea shore to Cusco across the Andes mountains. Is is said the fish used to arrive Cusco in just few hours. The fish path still exists up to present days. Archaeological rests of the local Inka settlement exist near the hotel and the first Chaski post station on the fish path exists on the top of a hill called Cahuamarca at 1264m. These places are going to be visited on the bike tour we organize.

Olleros


Olleros
Lima
Mountain Biking in Peru

After a slow trip on our classic and powerful Land Rover support vehicle climbing the rough and steep Andes mountains near Lima to what feels like the top of the world at 3700m altitude you are going to be rewarded with an amazing downhill experience, some bikers call this the best DH ride on Earth.  A ride that’ll have you at times thinking you were riding on the surface of the moon. Mountain biking in Peru is diverse in its trail offerings, but on this in particular be ready for stony sections, some sandy tricky slopes, exciting drops and very long funny flowy lines, all gravity assisted.
 
Unlike the groomed European ski fields that transform to summer mountain bike parks, the tracks here are through wilderness and generally narrower, steeper, and adrenalin inducing. A massive run up to 86 km in length and 3,600 meters of vertical descent from the Andean mountain tops to the Pacific Ocean – you could almost consider it mind blowing!

The price to go on this amazing bike trip varies with the group size. We know for some mountain biking enthusiasts it may be a bit expensive –if the group is too small, despite we try to reduce the operations cost to minimum, but for sure this unique experience is worth value.
