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..

Have you ever been? The people are friendly, the food is good the beer is cheap and the trails are endless.. Oh and I get paid to ride my bike on different routes day in day out (that's 5 good reasons), and cheers superbikes

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.

@sladevallydh you are an embarrassment. Please delete your account, if you even own a bike, please sell it. VIVA PERU!!!

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

would be so awesome to have heli-bike trips here in the Andes Mountains! how can I call your Dad!

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!
