The circuit with more adrenaline we can offer. This is a downhill in bicycles since the 3348 meters.
We arrived by car to Piedra del Molino(Stone Mill),the highest point on the road to Cachi, after a winding climb by Cuesta del Obispo (of the Bishop). This stone was owned by one of the old mills that were in the area (some still work). They tried to lower it to the the Lerma´s Valley, but the road at that time was very dangerous and nobody will encourage you to continue.
At this point we prepared the bicycles and the action begins. It begins rapidly downhill across the slope, stopping at various points to admire the scenery, search Condors and learn a little bit of the mountains. In El Maray spot, begin the asphalted section. The downhill ends up in an old iron bridge where the car is waiting for support.

Mountain biking tour by the lush vegetation surrounding the town of San Lorenzo. This circuit is adapted to the requirements of the participants. There are several trails of varying degrees of difficulty ranging from easy-medium level to strenuous. You can request a desired level before exiting, or the guide will adjust the itinerary according to the physical level of the group.
San Lorenzo is a village near Salta City, reclining on the first foothills to the west of the Andes, which are known as Precordillera or Cordillera Oriental. In its streets breathes an atmosphere of history and aristocracy.
Its environs retain one of the most complete biomes of northwestern Argentina, called Yungas or Selva Montana (Jungle that grows in the mountains).
The proposal of this tour is to travel to San Lorenzo in vehicle, going to different streams and from there, begin a circuit on bicycles for its numerous trails, which are crossed by streams and rivers that we will have to overcome. In the rainy season, this became a real adventure, because the area is full of grown streams and high humidity.
