OLLEROS

OLLEROS

After a slow trip on our classic 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.

THE OLLEROS BIKE RIDE

The bike ride is a downhill by an ancient Inka single track from Santo Domingo de los Olleros village at 3,670 m.a.s.l. to San Bartolo beach at sea level on the Pacific Ocean shores.
Considered as one of the best descents on Earth, it is a very long, flowy and entertaining ride through the superb beauty Andean scenery and when reaching the hill foot continues on a dry river bed that ends at the beach.

A truly unforgettable experience.
