One of the riders kissing the ground is exactly what I would have done after that ride! Amazing series, scenery is so beautiful, trails make me want to just hop on my bike and ride!

[@fusabike]

Haha, that was me! The same “Ryan” he mentioned getting sick overnight. I ended up riding that whole day powered by electrolyte drinks and a banana. Brian doesn’t mention it because we were losing daylight but after Patacancha we did a bonus lap of Pumamarca. Gassed! It was a GREAT day on the bike!

This is paradise for mind. Here, no problems, no stress. One love.

[@MTB_Rider_96]

These Peru trip videos are the best you've done to date, and that's a very high bar. Great job!

[@Rambleon444]

15,000ft. Amazing dealing with wind, hail, cold, new wet rocky cliff side trails, lack of O2, headaches... and you can still narrate your rides like a pro.!

[@swissride4k]

Awesome video that showcases the beauty and adventure of exploring the Peruvian Andes on a mountain bike. About this video I would love to say that: "Sometimes the most unforgettable journeys are the ones that take us off the beaten path, where we can connect with nature, challenge ourselves, and discover the true essence of a place."

[@WanderingWheelsRevelstoke]

This ride was 20.7km with 1400m of descending and only 141m of climbing. I guess it was “cross country” compared to most everything else on this trip! Another great video Brian! 🙏

[@tinakam8557]

I couldn't take my eyes off the trail, it was like I was riding it, including feeling my stomach drop on some of those narrow sketchy spots. Your little squeaks and eeks were priceless. So many dogs in Peru, we never had any issues, but walking by they usually ignore you. All different kinds everywhere. The street dogs in Cusco are unlike dogs anywhere else in the world, they have their own little society separate from humans and unconnected to humans. It was so interesting to see how they interacted, greeted each other and played. I've never seen anything like it. They completely ignore people and just do their own thing.

[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

Yeah, a little more than a little hair-raising. 😬

[@robertodaleyoshida4765]

:) dogs just do their own things in many places in Peru, not just Cusco :) But, actually they do follow human orders when requested.

[@RD-kq3ml]

I very much enjoy this new "documentary" style format than the usual POV only. Hopefully, you do more of these.

[@enips8939]

Actually lots of stuff he did before covid was just like this one.

[@kjracz15]

This. Is. Mountain Biking. Although I ride, I can never commit to doing these high-risk rides but I am able to shred vicariously through your videos. Thanks, man.

[@beyond-x]

Que tal paisano! Intenso! Thanks for bringing us along!

[@JaredHoff]

That’s definitely an adventure! Moving cattle off the trail, and some steep rock sections.

[@joshdesj]

I have really been enjoying this Peru series... super great content! I lived in Peru years ago and have been there 4-5 times, such an amazing place, so diverse and interesting! The sacred valley truly is an incredible experience, I'm looking forward to going back sooner than later, and hopefully get some riding in!

[@cuscokintimtbing25]

i am sure you will come to Peru and we will ride great trails

[@joshdesj]

[@Ciprian.Avarvarei]

Hi, Brian👋 I love your peruan adventure, those rocky trails are awesome 🙈 It's so nice for me staying home today on bad weather and watch your episode. You inspire me and just to know, I'm about to ride something new these days, but here in Romania 🇹🇩🚴‍♂️💪 Cheers man🙏🥇

[@bas17h4]

I didn't know Peru looked like Scotland

[@WarTornPH]

Great content Brian! You are among the top adventure/travel channels with Itchy Boots and EvaZuBeck. The beauty of mountain biking is that you can go where others can't on wheels

[@robertodaleyoshida4765]

Hi Brian, looking the video, it seems to me that the meal of El Chuncho, was the peruvian ancient “pachamanca”, that now includes various types of meat (cow, pork, alpaca, cuy, chicken, etc.) with potatos, sweet potatos, corn, etc. all seasoned with local ingredients, carefully packed with big plants leaves (ex: banana leaves) and roasted underground with the heat of stones previously exposed to fire. Hope you enjoyed it.

[@robertodaleyoshida4765]

Sorry, forgot to say your whole trip on Cuzco was amazing, awesome videos!

[@rehafal7977]

Keep up with the good work !!! We support you and your lovely wife Sara 🤘🏼

[@Vivendocadadia]

When I went to Peru I said to the guys from Holy Trail guides that I wanted only full 100% downhill trails and that I didnt wanted to do not even 50 metters uphill, specialy in Cusco where the base altitude is 3.000 metters. Pedal uphill in 3 thousand metters is for braves. Cant wait to come back to Peru and ride that mystic magic trails.

[@cuscokintimtbing25]

oh yes, Peru has mystic magic trails everywhere and great riding for sure

[@tannerjsammons]

Great video!!! I had to chuckle at the “commentary” at 20:22! I’ve said the same things a few times myself. Thanks for sharing the experience!!

[@timjacob991]

That is one gorgeous trail

[@bikingwithemily1109]

Watched in the Vancouver airport on my way to ride something new somewhere new 😀

[@titorjr1898]

Nice video, nice trail...Peru is beautiful!!

[@bigbarrelbr]

The scenic views, with VH altitude, all ally with milenar trails, that's awesome....

[@arvinkhosravi4748]

Best of all time

[@clairkejimenez8143]

Those Rocky trail's are awesome

[@dirtclodadventures]

Just catching your breath at those high elevations is tough, impressive that you guys are putting in so much riding each day...hats off!

[@EstebanUtz]

Best part..."Puta Madre!" that cracked me up! Amazing videos, keep them coming!

[@healthylifestyleandy]

Its not only biking and excercising but it’s a journey to see other people, places..

Hi iam your subscre

[@nathanaelscottwalsh1765]

Damn you are in good shape! I've backpack through some very similar parts of Peru, and it was exhausting

[@jeremylownes]

I’ve been riding dirt bikes for 20 years with my wife and mtbs the last 3, I totally understand what you are getting at. Much too tough to ride ahead and leave loved ones on their own, can’t not worry, love them too much. Great series of videos my friend 👍 keep um coming!

[@biketravelvlog]

Total respect for being honest about bringing your loved ones on dangerous rides. I’m a worrier too.

[@rdevil25]

Hey Brian, Peru just keeps on giving bud.I would love to go on this one with you guys🤘🤘

[@connorplow]

Thoughtful riding as always. Looks like an amazing ride, love the wildlife.

[@andrmikg]

Proper mountainbiking!

[@jinavl]

God knows i need a vacation..two more years and my kid wil be done with college..couldn't be any prouder

How come? Honest question.

[@ToddNZMTB]

Yeah I find it tastes a bit weird, that green coke we had over here a few years ago was just, unusual 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@stoneenforcer]

Thanks for sharing these! Hope to go someday

[@jcyardi1]

This has been an awesome adventure, just watching from your view. I will definitely be on o e of my own in the near future. Thanks for sharing!

Summer is ending for Peru.. my mom is from Lima I’ve visited when I was a kid the mountains look nice for dh

[@stanmustard7292]

"We're gonna let Matt take him on". Lmao, you're a true survivor, Brian. Really though, excellent video, what a ride.

[@tom93r1]

I admit, I about fell out of my chair at 17:45 when you had your moment

[@Baguiofolks]

Amazing rides

[@brianthompson1045]

Long time viewer. Great video! Your genuine enthusiasm was contagious! Well done!

[@thephoenicianarcher5267]

Beautiful work brother 💪

[@adelhussen9180]

Amazing trip

[@wajical]

Living in CO, I live at 6200'. Last Summer I did a camp/ride in Leadville at 10k'. Lemongrass Tea is great alternative for altitude sickness. Make it cold or hot, but if you are hydrating properly, you can ward off altitude sickness. But adding lemongrass to your water bottle in a tea ball for a ride is a good way to go as well.

[@johnglynn7795]

[@chiefsittingstill6061]

There seems to be an mtb variant (or possibly a Peruvian mtb variant) of Sod's Law: the scariest creatures hassle you on some of the most technical parts of the trail where you're going too slow to be able to escape them... 🙃

[@saidcortijo7146]

This looks like so much fun. You SOB I'm in.

Hahaha, I hope you take the trip!
