nice, my wife grew up in Lima up until her early twenties. We plan to head down there
with the kids next winter (your summer). I plan to get some riding and surfing in. I'll look you
up when I'm down there. You seem to have these trails dialed and would be cool to have a local
guide.

sure man!
drop me a line whenever you come.

best times to ride are april-october, specially april-june.

jan-feb are the less recommended, as it rains a lot in the highlands, everyday after 1pm... austral summer is usually surfing season. we normally stop riding and spend the weekends at the beach...
