Mountain Biking in the Cordillera Huayhuash: Peru: Mountainbike Extreme-Cordillera Huayhuash Yerupaja-Circuit. One of the most spectacular tours on 2 wheels. This is an extreme mountain biking trips over the single-track of the Cordillera Huayhuash Cordillera and one of the most beautiful rides in the world. The rocky formations are impressive and rise elegantly to the sky. Here you’ll find the second highest mountain in Peru: Yerupajá Grande (6,634 m.) Visitors will be able to see the snowcapped peaks, glaciers, blue lakes and impressive landscapes. During the trek, we’ll cross 8 mountain passes, including the highest at 5,000 meters. The trail isn’t very difficult to hike, but to ride on two wheels via the not-very-well-marked route is quite demanding. Some sections require that you carry or push your bike on a mule trail/single track that presents difficult steep or very rocky sections. Burros will carry your gear
Before heading out to our ultimate destination, we’ll have 5 days of acclimatization rides in the Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Negra. The Cordillera Blanca in the heart of Peru is ideal for hiking, mountain biking, trekking, climbing and mountaineering.
Highlights of the Cordillera Blanca. The highest tropical mountain range in the world, the Cordillera Blanca is part of the spectacular Andes that form the spine of South America.
