Pachakutic

"Pachakutic, from the Quechua language, is originally a concept associated with pre-Columbian Andean cultures, meaning "a change in the sun", or a movement of the Earth which will bring a new era. In its original context, it was associated with the type of creation myth found in much of the pre-Columbian Americas in which the present World had undergone several previous cycles of creation and renewal, and the present age was likewise part of such a great cycle."

Going downhill the Chachami by bike

One of the main activities to be done near Arequipa is to go down with a bike from an altitude of 5000 meters from the Chachami mountain. It is a radical experience and also provide some really nice view! You basically take 2,5 hours to go up and around 3,5 hours to come down which includes some tough terrain to control the bike but also some radical high-speed road down!! I believe the image will tell more than words!
