My girlfriend and I have spent 6 weeks bikepacking Peru. We have been blown away by the diversity of the Andes. Lunar landscapes, spectacular waterfalls, incredible snowcapped mountains, and beautiful small cobblestoned villages. We started off with the Huascaran Circuit, and then are now about to complete the Peru Divide (both routes available on Bikepacking.com).
Unfortunately we are now meeting some friends in Bolivia… so if anyone knows anyone interested in an M or an L Merida Big Nine Hardtail Mountain Bike, let us know!
There are incredible freecamps (and we only get waves and smiles by the few that have seen us pitch our tent), great village hospedajes, and unique and tasty cuisine once your stomach gets used to the odd bit of bacteria here and there!
