GUIDED BIKE TOUR FROM PUNO TO THE RAINFOREST OF PUERTO MALDONADO SINCE $562 USD Per Person

Downhill Mountain Bike Tour From The Highest Navigable Lake To Amazon Jungle Of Peru In 3 Days

The Southern Selva regions of Peru have only been systematically explored since the 1950s and were largely unknown until the twentieth century, when rubber began to leave Peru though Bolivia and Brazil, eastwards along the rivers. The forest of this lowland region (200m) is technically called sub-tropical Moist Forest, which means that it receives less rainfall than tropical forest and is dominated by the floodplains of its meandering rivers.
PERU ADVENTURE TOURS offers this new alternative trip for adventurous travelers who want a downhill mountain bike from the highlands (Tiawanaco culture – Lake Titicaca 4400m) to the dense rainforest of Puerto Maldonado (200m). The descent of 4200 meters through snow-caps, rivers and deep canyons offering spectacular panoramic views of the mountain walls of the Andes, cloud forest, picturesque Andean and Amazonian village along the road. The scenery of this route is indescribable by the great variety of flora and fauna that exists in each ecological floor along three amazing days touring this vast territory in bike specially equipped for off-road tours in Peru.
This downhill on mountain bike is designed for travelers looking for a new experience with many contacts with local people, tasting the local cuisine, spending nights in small family lodgings with little presence of other tourists.
This is not a classical guided and easy tour, this is a new and challenge experience with nature and essence of the local customs without classic looks for tourism.
PERU ADVENTURE TOURS invite you to start your discovery the Amazon of Peru on two wheels along 348 km of full adventure.
