Riding High: Bikepacking Peru

Cordilleras Blanca and Huayuash in the Peruvian Andes are a mighty fine place to go cycling. In July 2024 we spent four weeks bikepacking two loops - one in the Cordillera Blanca and one in the Cordillera Huayuash of Peru. We only slept below 3,000m on two occasions, crossing many 4,000m + passes - the highest at just under 4,900m (16,000ft). We camped under snow capped peaks, hiked our bikes up breath taking hills and rode descents that lasted for hours. If you like this film from Peru, please like, subscribe or comment. Thanks.
