Arequipa's two towering landmark mountains El Misti and El Chanchani as well as the lovely surrounding countryside are perfect locations for some mountain bike action. Either adrenaline rush style downhill or more leisurely enjoying the countryside and life at a different pace on the cross country tour.

A lot of the tour operators offer mountain bike tours, and all pretty much the same three ones. But the bike tours are by far not as popular as the famous death road downhill bike from La Paz down to Coroico in Bolivia. So you won't have to deal with groups of 15 people and most likely won't see another group doing any of them. Greatly adding to the experience.

• Mt. Chachani Downhill Tour
• Arequipa Countryside Bike Tour

The tamer of the two downhill tour options. It takes you down the lower slopes of the famous Volcano El Misti - that sits prominently just on the border of Arequipa - back to city itself. All in all you cover 1000 meters downhill andn the total distance is 45km.

The agency will pick you up at 8:00 to 8:30 at your hotel and drives you in a 4x4 drive car for about an hour up to 3400m on the slopes of the Volcano. There you'll get on the bikes and head back to Arequipa. First all downhill the slopes on gravel roads and later cross country on asphalt streets. The biking part of the tour takes about two and a half hours.

If cross country style mountain biking or just 1000m of altitude difference sound to lame for you. Then the Chachani tour might just be the thing for you. A whopping 2300m altitude difference between the starting point at 4750m way up El Chachani and the ending point at a lookout point near Arequipa.

As for the El Misti tour the agency picks you up at your hostel between 8:00 and 8:30am with a 4x4 car and the bikes. The drive up to the starting point of the downhill tour takes approximately two and a half hours. The ride back on the bike covers roughly 50km and takes anywhere between three and four hours. Depending on the daredevilness and fitness of the group.

This laid back and leisurely tour doesn't take you down steep slopes or involves sitting in a 4x4 first for hours. It's a pure and simple bike tour starting and ending at the agency and taking you through some of the beautiful and lovely countryside of Arequipa.

All in all the tour covers thirty to thrity five kilometers and there are two departure times a day. Either 8:30am in the morning or 1:30pm in the afternoon.
