Here is a peek of what a group of 11 Canadians from BC and Calgary got to experience. This is Peru Style!

When the hunt is on for a new biking adventure, Peru is a good place to add to the list. It provided much more than just a simple bike trip. We were always wondering what was around each corner. Peru has a variety of trails to offer and includes everything: dried up riverbeds full of small hits, wall rides and forest single tracks; to barren ridge lines with endless freeride possibilities.

Hope you enjoyed it.

 I quit my job in the uk and I'm heading to Peru mid January to work as a guide.. This has reinforced that I made the right decision plus the scenery and riding looks incredible..

 I love the people of peru and I often wonder why people don't leave the places they live for the places they want to live. Good for you man!

 Good luck in Peru! I was near Cusco for almost a year working as a guide. The riding is great, if your job works out, you won't regret it!

 Respect for having balls to just leave your home for something you are not sure about. I hope it works out for you.

 My dad's an international helicopter currently flying 10,000-hour shifts in Peru transporting oil and gas exploration equipment. He sure loves it.

 You'll have to contact Great Slave Helicopters' Peruvian partner, Helisafe. Pilots don't control their flights, since it's stupid money per hour to run a helicopter.

 Awesome place, just got back from a 2 week trip of a lifetime. The biking is endless, so many trails and the people are super friendly. I rode the Milky Way trail in cusco with Juanito and it was a blast...3200' descent on single track!
