“A Beauty and Sweaty Mountain Bike” Tour
Description:
This trip wants to provide a different way to explorer Viñales and the beauty it has to offer. Riding a bicycle trough farms, gorgeous landscapes, climbing up hills and the enjoyable adventure of descending over an irregular and steep terrain. The first part of the tour is the easier one, where goes on a nice road surrounded for pines trees almost for 9 km. The soil here is a bit sandy making important to take the turns with precaution avoiding the tires slide down, specially down hill. Continues to the small farmer cooperative “República de Chile” while the pines trees are replaced for wonderful sceneries. After Chile, the tour increase it’s difficulty, biking through farms on little trails where green crops grow on a very red soil creating an incredible contrast made from nature and man works. During this stage there will be some bridges to be crossed carrying the bicycles because is just impossible to ride on them, to give you a better picture, imaging a wood stick from one side of a river or a little lake to the other, one of your hands will carry the bicycle where the other will hold and improvised rail to help balance. The last part of the tour climb a very steep hill, although short, even professionals will struggle to do it and regular cyclist will probably push up the bicycle. Going down is a lot of fan and require both, break power and technique. Later on get in the “Valle del Silencio” and passing near a lake where a refreshing swim can be done, or just go to the very close end.
