Mountain Bike Peru
The former Inca Capital and Spanish colonial city of Cusco is our base for this “Best of Peru” biking extravaganza.
Cusco is a wonderful place full of culture, history, good restaurants and fun nightlife. The mountain biking is great, on a mix of dirt roads, mule trails and ancient Inca Trail single tracks.
The itinerary has been designed and improved over many years to put together a real biking trip for keen bikers. It caters to all tastes with multiple options to cycle on dirt trails or single tracks, to attempt huge climbs and monster down hills. At the same time, we experience the very best of the Andean culture and scenery.
From the Andes to the Amazon
We travel from the Andes to the Amazon, experience a great sunrise over the jungle, cycle through rarely visited valleys and enjoy awesome hotsprings.
We ride on original Inca trails to incredible ruins, perched high above the Sacred Valley and enjoy unbelievable downhills on smooth mule trails, past amazing saltmine, staying in charming hostals, with the occasional night camping
Then we catch the train to visit the Lost City of the Incas, Machu Picchu, and then return to Cusco for any last minute shopping.
You could extend your trip by trekking the Inca Trail or visiting the Amazon.
