Lurin Valley
The bikers option for those who like to cycle on gravel and paved roads.
Starting from Cieneguilla district we will climb to our goal: Antioquia village following the Lurin river.
Endurance is the key for this destination.
Season: April to December. January to March it may rain.
Average Stats:
1,500 mt Positive Elevation / 77 Km / 6-7 hours riding time.
About the Place:
Lurin River is south of Lima and is the nearest point to do a ride of that kind.
Cieneguilla district is at 300 masl and located on the main road that follows the Lurin River that is born from water sources of the Andes.
About the Ride:
Starting from Cieneguilla (C) to climb to the small village of Antioquia (F) for an approx total climb of 1500m. 38 Km / 77 Km in total.
If you are not prepared for such a distance you will ride to Sisicaya and Nieve Nieve villages (E), to complete 22 Km of climb and 600m of altitude.
What to bring:
Try to bring your basic equipment: helmet, gloves, and sunglasses.
You do have not to carry a lot of supplies, there are some points to recover and get some water or fruit. Just a small snack and 1 Lt of water, we will refill during the ride. A wind vest or a couple of layers on winter days unless you choose a longer ride. Sunscreen.
Another trail near there:
1. The Cactus Trail: a hot and intense trail. No places for refills, so we had to carry all needed in our backpacks. On the way back if you are not prepared for fast and technical small drops you have to take care. A good adventure in a very dry land with almost 1,000 mt of climbing on sandy and dusty terrain.
