FOR THIS TOUR YOU WILL NEED: MED
capability with bicycles
Good
physical endurance
DESCRIPTION:
The Countryside biking tour lasts for about 3 to 4 hours
average and passes through the typical pueblos of
Paucarpata, Yumina, Sabandia and then returns to the
center. If the group is strong and wants some extra
challenge, we can add on a pass through the district of
Characato any perhaps even Mollebaya, if there is time.
Going on bicycle is one of the best ways to get to know
the city as we will see many different parts, noticing
the idiosyncrasies in the urban design of the streets.
Make sure to be careful with the traffic! In addition to
the urban parts, we will then get to see some parts in
the countryside as well as how the people live in those
areas. We will see pre Inca terraces, irrigation systems
and water fountains, etc along the way. You will be
able to see Arequipa in a whole new light by the time
you finish this tour.
