Before you say “let’s ride.”
Skill level, altitude, equipment and support for your downhill day.
What technical level of MTB is required for the Full Day Downhill MTB in Cusco – Lomo Fino and El Brujo?
This tour is designed for intermediate to advanced riders. Expect tight singletrack, loose rocks, Inca stairs, technical drops, and natural rock gardens. You should be confident with braking, weight transfer, and cornering on steep terrain. Beginners or riders with only urban/XC experience are not recommended.
Can I rent a bike if I don’t bring my own?
Yes. We provide high-quality full-suspension enduro MTBs (Commencal, Polygon, or similar) included in the tour. All bikes are tuned and inspected before the ride. You may bring your own, but consider airline transport costs and pre-ride maintenance.
How does altitude affect the Full Day Downhill MTB in Cusco – Lomo Fino and El Brujo?
We start at elevations of 14,061 ft (4,286 m) and 13,852 ft (4,223 m), with sustained descents. Altitude can cause shortness of breath, fatigue, or mild headaches. Arriving at least one day before in Cusco and staying hydrated will help acclimatization.

Yes. A support vehicle follows the group, and our guides carry tools, spare parts, and radios. If needed, you can skip a section and join the shuttle.
What happens if there’s bad weather?
In the Andes, light rain or mist won’t stop the ride, but in case of thunderstorms, landslides, or unsafe trail conditions, the guide may alter or reroute the itinerary for safety.
How many people are in each group?
We keep groups small, between 2 and 6 riders, to ensure safety, personalized guiding, and smoother descents.
