Awesome downhill day
We did a one day downhill mountain bike tour with Americo. We have traveled and ridden in many locals and this was definitely top notch. We found that the ride descriptions are accurate in explaining the difficulty level. The bikes we rented through Americo are really nice and well maintained. The scenery is stunning and the trails are interesting, varied and in good shape. The guides and driver are very professional and helpful. Excellent day of riding!

The most fun you can have with your clothes on!
This was one of the highlights of my trip. My guide, Americo took me on the perfect trails for my skill set (advanced). The equipment was really good and he saved me a bunch of money by proving a down hill bike vs what it would have cost me to bring my own. He had the suspension set perfect for the trail conditions. Provided me with go pro footage to remember my trip by. After the ride was over took me to an incredibly good brewery that also had some delicious food. I would highly recommend Biking Peru Trek to anyone looking for a memorable adventure. I will be back for more.
