24 kilometres of continuous descent on one of the most beautiful and remote trails in the Sacred Valley, from the Amparaes Pass (4,500 m) down to Calca (2,800 m).
Our vehicle drives up from Calca to the Amparaes Pass, at 4,500 m, on the roof of the valley. Reaching the trailhead means carrying your bike for a short while, and that small effort opens one of the most beautiful rides in the whole Sacred Valley: open sandy slopes made for freeride, endless pre-Hispanic singletrack and a horizon of huge mountains and glaciers in every direction.
After the pass it is pure speed: flowing sections, a few technical bits and terrain that changes as you drop — from treeless puna to dense vegetation and valley forest — until you roll into the village of Calca, at 2,800 m.
This is the most remote of our intermediate days: between the pass and Calca there are no villages with services, only herds of llamas and alpacas, scattered communities and pure high-Andean scenery.
Bike and protective gear included. Lunch, entrance tickets and hotel pick-up are not included.
9:00 am to 5:00 pm. We meet at a fixed point in Calca; our vehicle shuttles you to the Amparaes Pass and picks you up at the bottom. Private groups of 2 to 6 riders, with a special rate for solo riders.
Red–black trails: you need previous mountain bike experience and confidence on red and black bikepark trails, and be able to handle steep sections, rock gardens and exposure.
The day starts at 4,500 m and the hike-a-bike reaches around 4,650 m. Spend two or three nights in Cusco or the Sacred Valley before the tour.
Reaching the trailhead means carrying your bike for about 30 minutes. That small effort opens the whole 24 km descent.
Lunch is not included. Bring the food you like to ride with: between the pass and Calca there are no villages with services.
Only herds of llamas and alpacas, scattered communities and pure high-Andean scenery between the pass and Calca.
