If you’re looking for a different kind of thrill in Southern Peru, our Nazca MTB Tour invites you to uncover a hidden side of the region. This is where the towering Andes meet the coastal desert, feeding the fertile valleys that give life to the land.

This isn’t just a bike ride, it’s an authentic connection with rural culture and landscapes that few travellers ever get to see.

Tour Highlights

• Total Descent: From 2,700m (8,850 ft) down to the desert floor.

• Scenery: High-altitude Andean peaks, agricultural terraces, and lush fruit orchards.

• Culture: Visit the remote village of Huchuymarca and witness ancient irrigation traditions.

• Experience: A fluid, mostly downhill ride on rural roads and farming paths.

The Journey Begins

Your adventure starts with a pickup from your hotel in Nasca. We’ll take a 1-hour and 40-minute scenic drive up to the Andean village of Huchuymarca – Pirca. Watch the desert fade away as the horizon transforms into imposing peaks and remote hamlets where ancestral traditions still thrive.

The Ride

Upon arrival, we’ll gear up and have a quick safety briefing before starting our descent. The route is a curated mix of well-maintained rural roads and traditional farming paths. It is fluid and panoramic, making it ideal for active travellers who want to combine moderate adventure with deep cultural immersion.

A Living Tapestry

As we glide through different ecological zones, you’ll witness the region’s rich agricultural heritage. We’ll pass fields of potatoes and barley in the highlands, transitioning into orchards of oranges, avocados, and apples as we descend. You’ll see a fascinating mix of ancient stone irrigation canals working alongside modern systems—a true reflection of the valley’s evolution.

Picnic

Mid-way through the valley, we’ll stop for a curated picnic lunch in the heart of nature. Surrounded by Andean peaks and crisp mountain air, it’s the perfect moment to recharge and soak in the silence of the mountains.

The Final

The experience wraps up as we return to Nasca, where the vibrant green of the Andes melts into the golden hues of the coastal desert. This full-day tour is designed for those who want to go beyond the Nazca Lines and experience the “deep Peru” on two wheels.
