About the Place:
Olleros name is because of the ancestral job of this region: cooking pots of clay (ollas in Spanish), these pots are a very typical and classic way to cook some meals, traditional people say that meals are better if cooked in a pot of clay.
The village is located at 2800m height but we start at a higher altitude.
The Trail:
GRAVEL DESCEND ROAD 40 Km approx and 2400 mt negative altitude / Mountain Bike Basic Level.
GRAVEL ROAD: 30 Km and a 1000 mt of flat and descend ride.
In some months when reaching the 500 mt of altitude the sunny day changes to cold and humid, and maybe wet, so ask before what to wear.
What to bring:
Try to bring your basic equipment: helmet, gloves and protective wear (recommended).
Some snacks of your preferences (we include some)
1Lt of water, a wind vest or a couple of layers on winter days. Sunscreen for the sections in the Andes.
We carry on the van some fruits, and extra water, if you need to request some special meals please ask.
