with a 2-month plan to ride through the peruvian andes, we wanted to kick it off with a bang. we spent five days on The Huascarán Circuit, slogging our way up to nearly 5000m (16,400ft) twice. the thin air made those multi-day climbs feel far harder than anything we’d ever ridden, but the scenery and views were worthy every bit of that effort 🤯
and this was all just a warm up — we would climb another 20+ passes like these before we went home 😬. stay tuned for plenty more from this insane adventure, or follow along on IG @dirtsloth and @adventuresbycycle ✌️

Wow. Looks awesome. I want to go
That is absolutely breathtaking!
Those switchback pics make the Stelvio look sick. Are those two pics of switchback climbs the same climb?
How long were you gone? Were there long stretches between places where you could stock up on provisions?
Amazing! I love the shot through the doorway!

Agree that looks so epic dude/dudet.
Please send location for that epic switch back approach.
Also, are you pretty good with your espanol or how far will English get me?
Hell yeah, I love that place.

Your style is amazing, fair play! Looks absolutely stunning
The altitude sickness at those elevations is no joke!
Howdy mate.
I see you are riding a gmx. Very sick, I am just about finishing my gmx build. Curve brothers!!!Also with a tail fin! Can you please share more about this rear bag? Looks like a prototype of some kind?

Incredible shots!
These photos are so good. Framing, color, and composition are so tasteful. I dig your style. Have you considered submitting to bikepacking.com?
Looks awesome, I’ll definitely make my way down there eventually. Pic 11 was shot with a drone I assume?
How’d you get to Hauscaran? Bus from Lima to Huarez?
I’m going to have to quit my job.
Bruder, it is it is!
Great pictures!
Would you provide the Route you are going to Ride?
If Wes Anderson went bike packing 🤩
Do you have Strava or Komoot account? I would love to check check out the track!
Goodness me!
Do you have a route to share?
So what I’m getting from these pictures is that I’ve never actually seen real mountains in my life, except maybe from a high altitude.
The geography is just nuts.
Wow! Just wow!
Sick!
Can you share your Strava!!
