About the Place:
El Morro is a dry, rocky and dusty place in the southern extreme of Lima Bay. Because of its location and height (nearly 300m) weather is similar to the city and during summer (Feb/Mar) is very hot and dry, so is better to ride early, on winter (Aug/Sep) is quite humid and bit cold and some days covered by myst.
The Trail:
To get El Morro we ride from our office for about 30 minutes following the seafront of Lima. Then, the Morro trail is around 12 Km doing some extra loops that may ride 15-16K that can be done in a maximum of a couple of hours of full up and down XC/enduro singletracks (we DO NOT offer Enduro or Downhill rides).
Beginners Important Note / Advice:
If you consider yourself as beginner you may ride some trails and use this ride as a a learning one. If you prefer to use it as lessons please ask for them.
All year Season
Lima best season is from November to May, From June to October drizzles are more frequent mostly in the morning, having 15 to 17 °C of temperature and almost 100% of humidity, however by the kind of soil of the Morro, this place remains enough wet for riding without mud and maybe with a good grip and riding hours move to 8-9 am.
What to bring:
Try to bring your basic equipment: helmet, gloves and protective wear (recommended).
Just a small snack, 1L of water, a wind vest or a couple of layers on winter days.
2L of water and a lot of sunscreen in summer.
