Video: Matt Hunter - Destination Trail - Peru

Jun 15, 2015
by Scott Secco  


Welcome to Destination Trail, a series that follows riders as they travel the globe, hunting for its greatest trails. Some of what they find might be renowned, some undiscovered, but that's the point. When expectations and attitudes are stripped away, only the essence of mountain biking remains. This is where adventure thrives, and it's here that memories are made.

In this episode, we follow Matt Hunter as he and his all-new Stumpjumper FSR head to rediscover the remote trails of Lima, Peru. First visiting nearly a decade ago, Matt was shown around by Eduardo "Wayo" Stein, and ever since that initial visit, he's been anticipating his return. This time around, he's passing on his knowledge of the trails to Matt Miles as they visit the historic region surrounding the Puerto Inca Trail. From open-air Incan relics to Mars-scape deserts to lush, rolling greenery, the Puerto Inca covers it all. See why Matt Hunter considers this to be one of his favorite trails on earth.

 @cuban-b, the bigger question is, Matt Hunter? I'm really surprised Sped didn't drop him a long time ago. Especially considering their business practices. Like WTF does he even do anymore? Ô.o

 Olleros Trail just outside of Lima is one of the best trails I've ridden in my life and I have been lucky enough to ride bikes in several different countries:

Peru is amazing.

 wow Specialized was really subtle about showing the SWAT cage on the new SJ in the first 30 seconds

 I think that's the river bed at the end of Olleros where they're riding with Wayo early in the video (around 1:05).

Olleros is probably the best trail I've ever ridden too, and that part at the end is SO fun with how many different lines there are through the rocks

 I have to admit though, that SWAT cage is a pretty sweet idea

 Hola! Yes, this video was made a little bit in Olleros and the rest in Puerto Inka (614Km south Lima). We are making a trip there in November if you want to join and then hit Cusco to finish the ride! Matty called me and told me that he was coming to Peru again and I just said WOW COME AGAIN! He came in middle of the rainy season and riding Olleros was a challenge. Our vehicle barely did it to the top, we had to use all our resources to keep the van on the road! HAHA what amazing adventure!

 @inkasadventures I had the pleasure of doing a Sacred Rides trip led by Miguel Lozano (Micky!) last summer—best riding trip of my life, no contest. I would love to come back, but being broke in grad school means it'll be a while...

 Wayo Stein and the Inka Adventures Crew are super professional and deliver the best Andean bike rides. Been there 4 times, better at each time. Lima, Cusco, Puerto Inka and Huaraz.

 Everytime I see a video of Peru or Iceland I wanna go. Then, look at my wallet, which has completely different ideas to me.

Anyone know what the song was at the start of the video?
