Sounds great what you said. Yes, we are in the planning and getting ready phase. We have gotten some info and the route plan is ready. The final itinerary is still under construction. Ideas and sugestions are welcome. You can see all that we have about in the web: www.geocities.com/anibpm Huancavelica has many interesting things to see, most of them are included in the itinerary. To join the cycletouring groups sounds great For the dates in december you are talking about we have a business event scheduled in Arequipa, so we will be busy on those days. This weekend we will do some training along the middle Lurin valley down until Sisicaya or Antioquía Best regards Aníbal & María Elena 4.- Malik wrote: Hi. Mi name is Malik Angeles, since last March (Easter week) I started doing cycletouring and also participate in any bike competition. I have made many routes this year together with my cycletouring group that includes two more persons. In March we reached Huancayo in 2 days, afterwards in May we went to Cordillera La Viuda and in July we went to Pozuzo, this last adventure was the best, we made it in 4 days from town to town. We have planned to go on the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th december to huaraz or to the northern beaches reaching as far as possible in those four days. Your expedition idea sounds interesting and would be nice to go with you together with my group. Any idea to make cycletouring is welcome. Thanks for your reply and lets see if we can make cycletouring together Best regrads Malik Angeles. 3.- Aníbal wrote: Hi Victor The trip would take 10 days aprox.

| Comentarios, conclusiones y recomendaciones.
La Reserva Paisajística de Nor Yauyos es una de las regiones más hermosas del Perú. Sus riquezas naturales: ríos, lagunas, cumbres nevadas, valles y quebradas, sitios arqueológicos, flora, fauna, costumbres, tradiciones, el aire puro y el clima constituyen en conjunto un patrimonio de gran valor para la humanidad. El estado casi virgen del entorno lo hace particularmente especial y debe mantenerse así para el futuro. La experiencia de recorrer la región en bicicleta, a pie y a caballo nos permitió tener contacto directo con la naturaleza y los pobladores y sentir el encanto especial de esta tierra pródiga y generosa. La región constituye un polo para el desarrollo turístico con gran potencial, que hasta la fecha no ha sido manejado convenientemente. Se debe mantener intacto el estado actual natural de la zona. Recomendamos a todos los amantes de la naturaleza, de los deportes al aire libre, del turismo en todas sus modalidades, etc. a que visiten la Reserva Paisajística de Nor Yauyos, es una experiencia de la que no se arrepentirán. Hay que tener en cuenta que para visitar algunos lugares como Escalerayoc,. Ticllacocha, etc. se necesita disponer como mínimo dos días. Tomarse el tiempo necesario y suficiente es lo mejor, por lo que una expedición por estos lares debe planificarse bien. Para recorrer la región es posible hacerlo a pie, a caballo o en bicicleta (hay tramos ciclables y no ciclables pero no imposibles de superar). La aclimatación a la altura es un aspecto que se debe tener en cuenta ya que casi todos los recorridos son por encima de los 4,000 msnm. Mantener la región limpia y libre de contaminación, residuos, basura, etc., es un deber y obligación ética y moral de todos los que visitamos el Nor Yauyos. Sigamos la recomendación general para todos los amantes de la naturaleza: “Leave no trace” = “No dejes rastros de tu presencia”. |
