Mountain Biking Peru: A Reunion to Ride Peru’s Sacred Valley

May 8, 2017

What’s the best way to reunite with a broth­er you haven’t seen in awhile? A high-five at the Lima, Peru air­port, and 8 days of moun­tain bik­ing in Peru’s Sacred Val­ley, of course!

Claus and Kim joined our Inca Trail All-Moun­tain ride and expe­ri­enced some of the best moun­tain bik­ing Peru has to offer. Rid­ing 10 days through­out the Sacred Val­ley, vis­it­ing Machu Pic­chu, try­ing ‘cuy’ and drop­ping in from 14,000 feet were a few of the highlights.

As we sat there, two unit­ed broth­ers after 8 days of moun­tain bik­ing, sus­pend­ed in a glass pod high above ground drink­ing wine and play­ing cards, we just couldn’t stop gig­gling. What a moment. What a trip.

Thanks for the amaz­ing footage and beau­ti­ful pho­tos Claus, here’s to your next reunion!

Enjoy the video! 8 days in 10 minutes.
