SUMMARY:Peru Andes Fall Adventure - Women's only
DESCRIPTION:Join Sweet Skills and Big Mountain Bike Adventures for a once-in-a-lifetime women’s mountain bike adventure in Peru! This bucket list MTB trip combines high-altitude singletrack\, vibrant local culture\, and world-renowned cuisine – all wrapped into 8 unforgettable days of riding and exploration. \nThe best way to explore the terrain in Peru is by bike! The raw and rugged mountain bike trails descend from the high alpine to the Sacred Valley\, weaving past Inca ruins\, rural villages\, and ancient footpaths. Expect long descents\, technical sections\, and jaw-dropping views—with plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere (and the altitude!). This trip is designed for strong intermediate to advanced women riders looking for a unique blend of adventure\, culture\, and skill progression. \nThe journey begins in the historic high-mountain city of Cusco before heading to a private lodge in the lush Sacred Valley – complete with a chef\, garden\, hammocks\, and epic mountain views. You’ll also visit Machu Picchu\, enjoy a home-cooked meal with a local family\, and maybe even ride alongside alpacas at 4\,300m! \nINCLUDED\n\nSweet Skills coaching along with expert local guiding (Spanish and English speaking)\n2 nights hotel accommodation in Cusco (1st and last night)\n6 nights accommodation at private lodge in Sacred Valley along with a private chef\nMachu Picchu day: return shuttle to train station from lodge\, return scenic train\, return bus transfer to start of Machu Picchu\, private guided tour of site (1.5hrs)\, lunch at renowned restaurant.\nAll meals from first day’s lunch to last day’s lunch\nSnacks and filtered water in shuttle van\nCusco airport transfers on scheduled days\nPrivate transportation and all shuttles during the trip\nDetailed pre-departure information and trip extension assistance from Big Mountain Bike Adventures\nSwag from Big Mountain and Sweet Skills\n\n\nTHE RIDING\nEvery day starts with a shuttle up through the mountains and villages. There may be 1-3 shuttles throughout the day. If you’re not a fan of shuttles… you will be here! The elevation is between 3500-4500m and it’s quite hard to put in any effort to say the least. Some days will still have some minor uphill components. The terrain vary from technical and rocky to flowy and smooth\, sometimes on ancient inca trails with stairs to ride and through pasture lands and eucalyptus forests in the valley. We’ll ride along some exposed trails and more technically challenging sections so the level required is upper intermediate to advanced technical rider. \n Video from Elladee Brown’s 2020 trip \nSkill & Fitness Level:\nSkill Level: IA-A  Fitness Level 4-6  This camp is a great fit for strong intermediate to advanced riders who love descending and technical trails. The riding will take us along some exposed trails\, old chunky stairs\, steeper sections with off-camber\, along with lots of traversing around hillsides and some Peruvian flow.
