For the past two weeks, I’ve been on one of the most incredible mountain bike adventures of my life, an adventure so epic, frankly, that if I didn’t have footage of it, I don’t think you’d believe me…
In case you didn’t know, I’ve been in Peru on a guided mountain bike trip with a company called Wandering Wheels, during which we rode some of the absolute most incredible singletrack in some of the most unbelievably beautiful locations at some of the highest elevations I’ve ever ridden! As if the riding wasn’t enough, you better believe we spent our non riding time sampling the rich local culture, cuisine, and history of Cusco, Peru and the surrounding Sacred Valley area…
In today’s video and over the next weeks, I am stoked to begin sharing this adventure with you all. So without further ado, let it begin!

People don't seem to understand the amount of riding in this trip. We literally started every ride day leaving the hotel at 9 and not getting back until dark. haha. This was just one fricking day!!! I'm still mind blown over how much and how rad the riding was.

[@dlwilliamson5644]

You guys are Rock Stars. Thank you all for inspiring us and offering such a generous amount of content.

Jajaja Señor Tonka for presidente

[@ddsgardening7437]

This is old school original tracks ,in Australia we would follow tracks made by Kangaroos travelling through the bush back 40yrs ago ,Fantastic episode Alex🙏🙏

[@86BREAL]

Stoked to see the rest of this series from your prospective. Somehow I didnt get enough of seeing these Peru trails from @BKXCs extended cuts. Everything is so raw and wild, from the trails to the city.

[@kenanjones3481]

I've watched all of BKXC's Peru videos, it's fun to see the difference between yall's riding styles and just your general excitement lol I love it

[@dlwilliamson5644]

Have you participated in the BCBR yet? (Syd and Mackey were back this year so I was in serious "fan girl" mode. )

[@TivonSanders]

Those trails are awesome! If I ever get the money to travel and buy a decent enduro mtb, I'm definitely paying Peru a visit.

[@cuscokintimtbing25]

you will make it happen for sure bro

[@willietorres8595]

Great videos dream place to ride. The guy on the yellow bike has been in a lot of youtuber’s videos they always mention how good of a guide he is I wish you guys could get him a new bike at least that’d be nice.

[@WanderingWheelsRevelstoke]

He’s got one coming in January!

[@thadgillespie5255]

I’ve been waiting patiently for these videos. Stoked that you get to share this EPIC adventure with us now! I always love your stoke level Alex. You make me look forward to riding!!

[@danielmtb6707]

I was in Cusco just 2 months ago riding there too. Absolutely amazing and so surreal riding old Inca trails with the locals. Beyond amazing. Enjoy it!

[@Maddox_Wright]

Sick man! Can’t wait to see the rest of the videos while you’re there!

[@The_Sampler]

Yewwwww SO STOKED for you guys to see this... otherwise you wouldn't believe it!

[@tonkshred]

Excited for this!! Followed all yall on instagram and … just insane. Thanks for putting it up, rainin bad in Burnsville NC but I’m looking at my first mtb in the kitchen 😂 building slowly waiting for warmth.. Hope to ride lots of what you do in NC here ! 🎉

[@dlwilliamson5644]

If it is raining in Burnsville then it's probably wet in Pisgah. (It was raining on Couch Potato day so I slept in).

[@10-Man]

If ever there was a Single track guy i would like to learn from, & gain some single-track experiences, Alex would be my Pick! Because his Authenticity & genuine love of adventure comes across in his videos! 🏔️🚴

That's it. Peru is definitely near the top of my foreign destinations list.

[@cuscokintimtbing25]

Peru will blow your mind bro, we are waiting for you

[@mrkaufmanMTB]

A Sampler Peru adventure ok im in!!! I did 3,000km from Lima to Lake Titi caca by car and everybody tells you to eat the ceviche, which is awesome don't get me wrong, but no one tells you about alpaca meat! it's so tender! will you try the Cuy? (don't see the live ones first or you never will lol)

[@lutherblackeye]

This is amazing, the stoke was definitely coming through.

[@SecretSpots]

EPIC adventure!! Great job everyone on that wood road gap! 👏👏👏

[@jeffdana9402]

Are you running DH casing tires? Should I bring extra/space tries? Are there tires available for sale in Cusco? I'll be doing this exact trip next month and would love to hear from ya'!

[@fusabike]

Bring a new spare tire, DH or DD casing if you can. Bike Shops around Cusco have really limited selection.

[@amgoatee3700]

I enjoy every minute of this vlog. Can't wait for the next video 🤘

Dude Peru?! Living right. Always good to see a video from you. Also, thumbnail game on point ! 🤛 happy holidays

I love these 1st person POV vids. I also watched Brian from @BKXC, Peru series. Gonna have to book a trip one day once my skill level gets up.

Man, this just looks like a ton of fun. I enjoyed the Germany series, so I'm stoked to see another travel series! Thanks for taking us along. :)

[@TheRotundRider]

I can't even imagine trying to breathe here. A month after COVID I went to Denver for the first time. We did a lot of walking around the city and I felt like I was having constant asthma attacks. It was awful.

[@powskier]

You're on an epic vacation. Why would you risk ending it early by doing a jackass move like wheelies which are nothing but parlor tricks that serve no purpose in real mountain biking?

[@ShawnHermann]

Single Track Sampler & G4 Peru 2024 !!!!!! Love this man ❤

[@JasonSmith-Rubicon04]

You never disappoint! AWESOME!

[@brandonvolz766]

If you enjoyed the super steep, rutted, loose, multi terrained trails, you gotta make a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico. This is reminding me of it. Oaxaca bike expeditions was a great guide company.

[@paulmillar3381]

Wow Alex supper jelly. Looks siiiiick.

[@joeshawcroft7121]

What a rad adventure! I've added this to my bucket list and dream for the day.

[@cuscokintimtbing25]

​@@johnhughes8016 bro, i think i said it wrong, i mean, there is lots of riding and if you want to do as much as posible every day, you need to be in good condition, so you do not get too tired, but it you want to ride all these trails taking it easy, of course you can make it happpen. i have ridden with friend over 50 and they rock it. i am sure you will rock it too, you have to ride and enjoy this Peruvian trails amigo

There are good guides near Cusco for all different levels. I climb better than I descend so I would wear body armor for the super long (~ 55 km) descents.

@@bigslacker666 I need to learn to ride parks more because I have the lungs and very little skill. We have parks extremely close by called KOLO , Berm Park and Kanuga. All are accessible and when I see the "air catchers" I turn tail and pedal away with my hydropack tucked between my tail.
