Eighty riders descended more than 30,000 feet from the Andes to the Pacific Ocean this February during Chile’s second annual Andes Pacifico, a four-day enduro race. Beginning high in the mountains, with stages comprised of leg-burning climbs and fast singletrack descents, the riders made their way through Chile’s wine region before finishing in the small coastal town of Mantanzas. Photographer Dave Trumpore captured the entire event, which, of course, included plenty of dirt, pisco sours, and Chilean barbeque.
