About the Place:
The Lurin River Valley is the best and nearest place on the south side of Lima to ride bikes with no traffic around.
Starting from Pachacamac or Cieneguilla villages we follow the river Lurin up to mahe a loop on gravel and asphalt roads. Historically, the valley was a pre Inca trail to connect the gods of the coast and the Andes, finding on our way many ancient ruins and hidden Inca sites.
The Rides:
The ride is done along the valley and the bottom of the mountains on gravel and paved roads.
For enthusiast and beginners the loop can take around of 20K and 200 mt of total climb.
But if you are more than a beginner, loop can reach the 45 Kms and 400 mt climbing.
For people with more experience and fitness the longer ride may fit, in this case we ride almost 70 Km with 800 mt of total climb.
Available the whole year
Usually dry, during months of June to September is possible to have rains, in this case we change the starting point. From January to March leaving the city at the earliest is recommended (6:30 am for every level).What to bring:
Try to bring your basic equipment: helmet, gloves (otherwise we have some to provide you).
During summer (jan-apr) 1 Lt of water and sunscreen, some money to buy anything else at some local shop.

From July to October there is more chances to have rains (mud with it), so having some extra clothes for after ride could be necessary.
