This is a downhill bicycle tour that allows you to have
some amazing views of the snowcapped peaks that surround
the city of Arequipa and at the same time, you will be
able to enjoy the splendid scenery of the high Andes
turning into the valley at the bottom. We will pass
through a part of the National Salt mines and White
Water Reserve. Depending on the level of expertise of
the group, we can either fly down in an exhilarating
ride, or we can take it easy and enjoy the scenery.
