Downhill Pichu-Pichu:The most famous downhill circuit in Arequipa
The downhill mountainbiking is a “boom” in Arequipa. Tired of the conventional tours, “Downhill Pichu-Pichu” is the option for all the lovers of ecotourism and adrenaline. This circuit, awarded by different national and international mountainbiking magazines has allowed Naturaleza Activa and the father of Downhill in Arequipa: the champion Guillermo Rendón Cuadros to be recognized and awarded internationally.
Many tourists are traveling daily in 4x4 pick-up vans towards Chiguata in order to climb the slopes of the majestic Pichu-Pichu volcano until reaching the starting point. Then the cyclists will descend faster than 40 km per hour through rough trails. The view of Ubinas, Misti and Pichu-.Pichu8 volcanoes and specially those of Salinas Lake are very impressive. The flora and the fauna and the natural richness of the area are very interesting for the lovers of ecotourism. If you come to Arequipa and you haven´t done this circuit yet, It is the time to do it!
