MOUNTAIN BIKING & CYCLING
In recent years mountain biking has exploded in popularity, but it is still a fledgling sport in
Peru. There is no shortage of incredible terrain. Single-track trails ranging from easy to ex-
pert await mountain bikers outside of Huaraz, Arequipa and even Lima. If you're experien-
ced, there are incredible mountain-biking possibilities around the Sacred Valley and down-
hill trips to the Amazon jungle, all accessible from Cuzco. Easier cycling routes include the
wine country around Lunahuaná and in the Cañón del Colca, starting from Chivay.
Mountain-bike rental in Peru tends to be basic; if you are planning on serious biking it's
best to bring your own. (Airline bicycle-carrying policies vary, so shop around.) You'll also
need a repair kit and extra parts.
