Day 2: Marcapata-Quincemil. From Marcapata " the door of the amazon " you will continue the descend on mountain bike into the Andean cloud forest. A mysterious prehistoric landscape of moss covered trees shrouded in mist.
There are many beautiful flowers and birds here and the vegetation and climate becomes more tropical as the day progresses.
The route passes crashing mountain streams and spectacular waterfalls hundreds of metres high, some of which you will cycle through.
There are no villages on the way, only isolated dwellings. At sunset you will travel the remaining distance to the small settlement of Quincemil (900-650 metres above sea level), where you will stay the night in the municipal building or camp site.
The duration of this section is approx. 8 hours (5 hours by bike, 2 by support vehicle).
