After driving an hour up the canyon from Lamay along a winding dirt road, this picturesque singletrack starts high in Alpaca grazing fields and drops down into a canyon that gives glimpses of rural mountain farm life. Stretches of moderate rolling singletrack are interspersed work technically difficult but fun rock stair drops and tight turns. Herders and farmers share this trail, so the occasional slowdown and “Buenas Dias” is order. You’ll wind past quinoa fields and cut close behind farms as the trail narrows and then widens again into a small uphill section. The last section is a scenic cruise down a quiet gravel road until you reach town.

Access Info

We had Gravity Downhill/Haku guiding us, and they were amazing. Having a guide is recommended to keep good report with the community.
