Extravaganza:

We offer limitless possibilities for trips along a labyrinth of old roads and trails crisscrossing both Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Negra. On these trails we cross fields, small rivers, old bridges, often passing through traditional Andean villages. These ancient trails have existed for centuries and serve to connect the villages with each other and with the principal towns. This rustic trail system provides a wide range of options for cyclist with good technical skills, and also challenges the most radical bikers.

Multiday trips:

TRAVERSING THE CORDILLERA BLANCA: 5 DAYS
There can be no doubt that this is the most defiant and scenic route in the entire Cordillera Blanca. This trip starts east of Huaraz, heading towards the Cordillera Blanca with a spectacular view of the mountains. In five days we will traverse almost the entire Cordillera Blanca with plenty of good climbs and trails yet to be worn out by other cyclists! The last day takes us to the base of Huascaran, the highest peak in the Peruvian Andes, and then back to Huaraz for a well deserved cold beer.

EL PERRO FLOJO LOOP: 2 DAYS
This trip is a great introduction to all the challenges and scenic vistas you’ll find in the region. Upon leaving Huaraz, we ride on a long, nice and gradual road leading up to the Eco Lodge “The Lazy Dog Inn”, the most luxurious comfortable adobe construction in the region…Home cooking, fireplaces in the rooms and tranquility will be yours in this very cozy place. Here you will spend a relaxing evening. The next day will take us on plenty of breathtaking single tracks on the way back to Huaraz.

Note: We suggest that you have at least a couple of days of acclimatization especially for our multiple day trips. This will help to ensure your enjoyment and needed energy while biking.
