89 kilometers are separating the riders from the start in Aguaytía and the finish at the foothills of the Andes. The peloton starts in the Malecon de Aguaytía park on the banks of the Aguaytía river. A flat beginning of the race gives the riders some time to adjust to the conditions in Peru. While going west the peloton will face the first mountain of the day. Although the mountain is not that high, the average gradient of the climb however is. After the climb there is a downhill that will bring the riders to the next flat part of the race.
After the riders have been able to recover from their efforts during the first climb, the riders will face the second and last mountain of the day. The climb is not as steep as the previous one, but the length of the climb is longer and will demand some serious climbing skills.
