About the Place:
Pacha Valley is the best and nearest place on the south side of Lima to ride bikes with no traffic around. Historically, the Pachacamac Valley takes its name from the God Pachacamac, ruler of the earth, who lived in this area for two thousand years. On our way we´ll see some cropping fields, small towns and some Inca sites, and if you decide maybe try some local food.
About the Ride:
The ride is done along the valley and the bottom of the mountains on some non-technical trails.
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 we recommend to choose the Lurin River Valley ride that can get 70 Km and 800 mt climb

It is essential to know your skills and training to choose the right trail:
1. If you like Mountain Biking but you don´t ride on narrow singletracks the Pacha Valley ride is the right choice.
2. If you are an intermediate or experienced rider your choice must be Pacha Trails to enjoy a fully singletracks ride.
