Spectacular scenery, fast downhills and lots of adrenalin are some of the things which stand out about this incredible downhill route. The bus picks us up early in the morning from our hotel in Cusco, to take us on a trip of about 3 hours to the highest point on the way between Cusco and the Lares Valley. Once we arrive at the pass, we get our bicycles ready to begin what will be an exciting day of adrenalin and stress relief. The desolate ground of the puna, covered only with ichu (a local shrub) and meager pasture, give way to more benign and fertile lands as we descend along the banks of the picturesque Qochoq River. The Inca tombs in the narrow canyon, the friendly people of the Totora community, and the breath taking views from the heights of the canal are unforgettable images which will stay in our memory forever.
