From here it is downhill all the way a whole 80kms for those that can keep up the pace, by bike, we pass through small jungle farms and plantations with the temperature and speed ever increasing. Our rest place for the night the bustling market town of Quillabamba (1020m) where we have a free night.

Day 2. Today we jump on our bikes again for some more downhill to the town of Palma Real (760m). Using jungle roads passing coffee farms, mango plantations and avocado we cycle about 60kms through some of the most beautiful and fast road cycling in Peru. We spend the night camping in Palma Real.

Day 3. Our last day of cycling, we continue downwards another 60kms through the ever thickening jungle and dusty roads. Passing through many small towns and villages to the end of the road and the village of Ivochote (520m). Here we will camp for the night on the banks of the river.

On our return we will have breakfast and a guided tour of the various plantations that make up our jungle centre.
