When the Paracas Trans desert bike trip was planned the first time we never imagined what was waiting for us. The journey ended to be so rewarding and greatly impressive after living the experience of the desert's secret revealed to us: hidden never seen before ancient geoglyphs lost among the sand dunes. After that we believe this option fits into the Off The Beaten Trail for the bike touring enthusiasts. We are going to have an experience including fun, good cycling and good touring.
We have organized it in 4 days - 3 nights. It will include: Round trip bus transport from Lima, expert guide, the bikes for the trip across the Paracas National Reserve, camping equipment, food and accommodation the last night at Paracas in a hotel right in front of the bay with a nice sea view just to don't forget how civilization is like.
The trip goes well organized with expert guides, GPS navigation equipment, SPOT remote tracking and satellite messenger equipment, radiocommunication equipment, mechanic support for the bike, medical kit and first aid in case of need.
All invited to join the desert experience.
