It’s not every day you get to ride in the sacred land of the Incas just a few miles away from the ruins of Machu Pichu in Peru. Marcelo Gutierrez calls the Santisimo Downhill “one of the most epic races i’ve ever done”. It’s a fast track with very open curves, lots of different lines, jumps, and a just plain awesome landscape. The Andes mountains and Peru are definitely and incredible place for a great downhill race.
