The Andean
Challenge
Conchucos, White Mountain Range
One of the most beautiful Andean mountain bike tour of Peru. The tour is a loop starting from Huaylas to Conchucos Valleys passing by amazing villages and breathless landscapes surrounding the snowy summits of the White Mountain Tropical Range. After the visit of the first Andean civilization in Chavin we will close the bike tour attacking the highest and extreme high pass in the Andes: The Olympic Point pass with its 14.700 ft and from where we could appreciate the highest summit of Peru and the second in South America: Huascarán.
