A few days ago, with my friend and neighbour Vicente Chirinos from Peruvian Mountain Rides, I had my first experience riding eMTBs through the local trails where we live, in the Sacred Valley of the Inca in Cusco - Peru. They lent me the new Giant Trance X E + Pro 29 and in a few hours in the morning we managed to capture all these shots that finally became this edit and photo story. The flow with which you go up and the adrenaline controlled when you go down makes this machine a necessary good for any cyclist who wants to "venture" into the unknown and even more so if you want to go further than 3000 masl! Hope you like it! Greetings from the Valley! Andes vivos!

I had the distinct pleasure or riding with these guys in 2018. Astounding trails, the best guides you could hope for in this jaw droppingly beautiful landscape
we always remember you and appreciate your art, you rock! hope we can visit you someday!
I look forward to returning. I’ll continue to ride hard here so as to be worthy of those crazy Incan trails haha
I love that Juan has made contact already, what an amazing week we had with you guys and your amazing crew! Peru is a mind blower for scenery, culture and especially riding with the Peruvian Mountain Rides gang. None of us will ever forget that adventure and we could never have done it without your astounding local knowledge and guiding. I hope you develop your ebike offering so us low altitude guys can go deeper into your glorious high altitude landscape without so much huffing and puffing. It's hard to imagine bigger days there, but on an ebike, wow!
Thanks to pinkbike for supporting these guys, the are making a difference in their community and also in the Andean communities they touch with their MTB offering. Anybody out there thinking about going (when allowed), DO IT.
Dude you lived in Curahuasi? That's rad! Volunteering or something?
Did you ever check out Sayhuite?
I lived in Ollantaytambo for twelve years lol
