Just a couple of weeks maxing and relaxing in Cusco and the Sacred Valley. No hardships, just sushi and Incan ruins.
I got the opportunity to write a route report for the Mama Coca route, published on bikepacking.com.
Two nights on the Ausangate circuit, one of Perus best hiking regions. Amazing scenery everywhere, this was the highlight of our trip so far.
From Cuyo Cuyo to Ausangate on the Tres Cordilleras route. Somewhat delayed with pneumonia, we crossed 5000m passes and remote high plateaus in the south of Peru in the Andes.
A circuit around Ausangate, one of Peru’s premier hiking areas, and also our favourite bit of riding on the trip so far. Beautiful.
From the Bolivia-Peru border, battling pneumonia and snow days, we finally finished the Tres Cordilleras, over a week after we had hoped to.
Riding north from Sorata into Peru, unfortunately a little waylaid by parties and landslides.
Watch the section from La Paz to Sorata, through the Bolivian Andes, and taking in a circumnavigation of Illampu, one of Bolivias tallest mountains.
Watch us ride the southern section of the Mama Coca route in Bolivia, from Oruro to La Paz, featuring our first hike a bike, and plenty of dogs.
Showcasing Michael Jordan’s photography, and documenting bikepacking travels with Lauren Raywood.
Leaving Bolivia behind, we (tried to) follow the Tres Cordilleras route into Peru, but landslides forced a change of plans. Incan steps, Alpaca, and Bolivian piss-ups awaited.
