Itinerary:

Discover a world of ancient wonder and mystic legend on this cycling tour through antiquity, with Lima Urban Adventures. Rise early and be transported to a town nestled on the valley of the Lurin River. Learn a bit about bike safety before setting off to ride along the rural roads and valleys of southern Lima. Enjoy cycling along an ancient trail that dates all the way back to pre-Inca times! Still used by local farmers and hikers, the trail passes rustic haciendas, farms and ruins, so be sure to wave and share a smile as you pass the locals. And then head off-road and into the mountains for a bit of adventure!

 

Stop for a tasty lunch and use time to recharge your energy, ready for the next installment of this adventure that combines the best of the outdoors with the greatest of history. Continue the cycle and finish the ride at the 23km mark, where a vehicle will be waiting to transport you to the archaeological site of Pachacamac. This site was once one of the most significant religious centres in ancient Peru.
