Andes Downhill Experience – X3 Edition
🚴 Description
Jump into Peru’s most thrilling MTB adventure—Andes Downhill Experience – X3 Edition—a full-day journey that combines adrenaline, history, and unmatched Andean scenery. This ride brings together three legendary descents through the Sacred Valley, descending from ~4 000 m to 2 800 m on ancient Inca trails, glacier-fed routes, and salt mine-laced landscapes.
Expect technical terrain, flowing singletrack, and cultural immersion—all guided by expert local riders. Whether you’re in search of flow or rocky grit, glacier chill or salt-mine speed, this ride packs it all into one unforgettable day.
🔴 Chinchero Downhill – Inca Flow Meets Rugged Terrain
Starting at 3,900 meters, this descent combines raw Andean nature with rich history. You’ll ride through centuries-old Inca terraces, descend over stone staircases, and carve through eucalyptus forests that frame stunning views of the Sacred Valley and the Vilcanota range.
This trail blends flowy singletrack with rocky, technical sections, perfect for warming up both body and mind. The terrain tests your precision while the surroundings transport you into the heart of Inca heritage. Expect loose stones, sharp turns, and the surreal feeling of riding a mountain trail used for generations.
🔴 Chicón Downhill – Glacier to Valley, Pure Enduro
Launching from 4,000 meters, this ride is for MTB purists. It’s steep, narrow, and unfiltered. You begin close to the Chicón Glacier, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and mountain silence, then drop rapidly through alpine terrain, river crossings, and countless tight switchbacks.
This is a high-consequence ride built for confident downhill riders. The trail hugs the mountainside with minimal margin for error and rewards your focus with unmatched natural drama—from the frozen heights to sun-drenched valley below.
🟢 Maras Stampede – Speed and Scenery in Perfect Flow
If Chinchero was history and Chicón was grit, Maras is all about speed and visual magic. Starting at 3,950 meters near the mysterious circular ruins of Moray, this trail is fast, smooth, and panoramic.
The path flows through the iconic Maras Salt Mines, ancient pre-Inca pools still in use today, with sweeping views of the Andes and Urubamba Valley. Here, you can let go—gain speed, hit natural jumps, and carve berms with confidence.
This descent is pure MTB joy. It’s less technical, more playful, and the ideal closing act to a day of legends.
