Pacha Valley

The choice for a cycling ride on gravel/paved roads with low traffic and outside from the main city.
The ride is done in the main valley of Pachacamac, one hour from the city following the lower lands of Lurin river. No singletracks.

Recommended for:
Basic level to up.

Season:
All the year.

In Brief:
250 mt Positive Elevation / 36 Km / 2h30 hours riding time.

About the Place:

Lurin River is south of Lima and the lower lands near the coastline are known as Pachacamac, and its name become from the name of the god, ruler of the earth: Pachacamac that lived in this area for two thousand years.

About the Ride:

Starting from Pachacamac at 150 masl (A on the map).
Following up the river the road takes you (depending on your speed) in one hour to Ovalo de Cieneguilla (A-B) riding 12Km gaining 150m and if it was not enough it may be extended 6 more kilometres to reach the next point that is the Cieneguilla bridge (C). Once in Cieneguilla and after picking some food and drink you will ride back down to the starting point at Pachacamac. All the ride is on gravel or paved roads.

What to bring:

Try to bring your own basic equipment: helmet, gloves. 
A wind vest or a couple of layers on winter days. Sunscreen is needed in summer.
During the ride, there are many places to buy food and water, so carrying a litre of water is enough.

Other trails near there:

1. Lurin Valley: Starting from Cieneguilla we climb along 42 Km to the village of Antioquia. Requires more training, only suggested if you use to ride long distances.
2. The Cactus trail: a hot and intense trail. No places for refills, so we must 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.
