There are plenty of ways to get back to Lima.
You can take a bus. You can squeeze into another tight airplane seat.
Or—you can descend an entire mountain range on a bike, from the high Andes all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
That’s the idea behind one of MTB Altitude’s most unique rides: Andes to the Pacific. A one-of-a-kind descent that turns your “return trip” into the final chapter of an unforgettable adventure. Just ask Jason Forcier, who’s done it—and won’t ever forget it.
“Why spend another full day on a bus or cramped in an airplane seat when you can go back to Lima via an adventure?”
A Descent You’ll Talk About for Years
This ride is exactly what it sounds like: a 3–5 hour descent (depending on how many photo stops you take—and believe us, you’ll take many) through a stunning canyon, weaving through tiny Andean villages and quiet farmland.
“A 3–5 hour descent through an amazing canyon winding through local villages and small farms.”
As you ride, everything changes: the air warms up, the mountains give way to wide valleys, and the landscape shifts from high-altitude green to coastal gold. And with every twist and turn, the road feels more and more like a secret worth keeping.
Ride Light, Ride Free — We’ve Got You Covered
Like every MTB Altitude tour, this ride comes with full-suspension 29” bikes and reliable 4×4 support throughout the route. You focus on the views, the ride, and the thrill of the descent. We take care of the rest.
“Using full suspension bikes and a support vehicle, Mauro and Julio make sure you are covered every step of the way so all you have to do is enjoy the scenery.”
This isn’t about racing. It’s about letting the Andes show you the way out, at the perfect pace—with experienced locals who know every bend in the road.
A Hidden Gem Few Travelers Ever See
Jason captured it best:
“One of my favorite parts of traveling is when you come across something few people get to experience and is truly unique. This is one of those things. Do not miss an opportunity.”
And he’s right. This ride is something very few travelers know exists—a side of Peru you won’t find in brochures or guidebooks. It’s not just about going downhill. It’s about crossing an entire world, from the mountains to the sea.
Going back to Lima? Make it an adventure.
Skip the terminal. Forget the timetable.
Instead, watch the landscape change beneath your wheels.
Let the mountains say goodbye the right way.
