From the Mountains
to the Desert
to the Coast
April 2026, Marvin and I scouted this route start to finish — Lima south through Lunahuaná's wine canyons, the Huacachina desert oasis, and out to the wild Paracas coast. Came back with the trip planned. April 2027, we're running it with a small group.
Marvin's from Peru. He's been the local in every group ride we've done together in Austin — knows how to keep a group moving, keep everyone safe, and keep the energy up. He's leading this one. I helped plan it; he's running it.
