About the Place:
The South Valley is the best and nearest place on the south side of Lima to ride bikes with no traffic around.
Starting from Pachacamac valley we follow the river Lurin up to Cieneguilla district. Historically, the Pachacamac Valley takes its name from the God Pachacamac, ruler of the earth, who lived in this area for two thousand years and this is one of the oldest way to connect Lima with the Andes, so on our way we´ll find small towns and some hidden Inca sites, and if you want maybe try some local food.
About the Ride:
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
How to choose your mtb trail:
It is essential to know your skills and training to choose the right trail:
1. If you like to ride on mountain, gravel or road bikes but you don´t ride on narrow singletracks the South Valley ride is the right choice.
2. If you are an intermediate or experienced mountain bike rider your choice in the area must be Pacha Trails to enjoy a fully singletracks ride.
