Schedule 2008
Where to ride?

The Lake Titicaca

This trip by Puno we'll ride on its plateau landscapes, surrounded by the great Andean mountains and the lake Titicaca, the biggest in Peru and the highest lake for navigating.
This amazing place has great natural sceneries and in all the trails we'll see the local aymara and quechua people on their bikes, maybe the place with more cyclist in Peru, not for sporting but for transportation because of its flat surface.
