Mountain Biking

Puno

The high Andean plateau offers a variety of incredibly beautiful routes, with farm fields and intense, sky-blue waters. If you cycle along Lake Titicaca, you can see the islands and fisherman on their reed rafts. High levels of physical fitness are required, because the average height of the track is roughly 3,800 masl.
