Upon arrival in Lima, we will welcome passengers at the airport and transfer them to their hotel. In the afternoon, we will begin a city tour of the city’s main attractions, including a panoramic view of Huaca Pucllana, the Historic Center of Lima, the Main Square, the Cathedral, the Municipal Palace, and the Monumental Complex of San Francisco with its famous Catacombs. Finally, we will explore modern and traditional areas such as San Isidro, Miraflores, and Larcomar.
After the transfer to the Sacred Valley and check-in at the hotel, we will assemble the bikes and have a safety briefing. In the afternoon, we will begin the first acclimatization ride on the Maras Clásico trail, descending over rocky terrain, loose dirt, and simple ramps. Along the route, we will visit the Maras Salt Mines and finish in the community of Pichingoto, crossing the Vilcanota River before returning to the hotel in Urubamba.
After breakfast, we will ascend to Lares Pass to begin an optional freeride descent and continue along a flowy singletrack with technical sections. The route crosses canyons, rivers, steps, ancient paths, and landscapes where llamas and alpacas can be seen. After a rest and box lunch in Totora, we will transfer to Ancasmarca for a second technical circuit among Inca steps, queuña forest, tight turns, and moderate elevation changes, ending the day with a return to Urubamba.
We will head toward Abra Málaga to begin one of the most exciting routes of the trip: Incavalanche, a cold-weather descent with possible views of the snow-capped La Verónica, featuring wet, rocky, and flowy sections, ramps, and simple drops. After a break with a box lunch in the community of Pirhi, we will continue toward the archaeological site of Pumamarca, where we will ride a technical descent among Inca terraces and Sacred Valley landscapes until finishing in Ollantaytambo.
Very early in the morning, we will begin the journey to Machu Picchu, one of the wonders of the world. From Aguas Calientes, we will board the bus to the Inca citadel, where we will enjoy an approximately two-hour guided visit with a professional guide. During the tour, we will learn about the history, architecture, and cultural value of this impressive sanctuary. At the end, there will be free time in Aguas Calientes before taking the train back to Ollantaytambo and continuing by transport to Cusco.
This day will be used to rest after several intense days on the bike. You may take the opportunity to explore a bit of the city or simply enjoy some well-deserved relaxation at your hotel.
We will leave very early from Cusco toward Pitumarca to have breakfast and continue to Chilca, the starting point of the biking route. The ascent combines sections of pedaling and hiking until reaching Jampa Pass, at 5,100 meters above sea level, surrounded by high-Andean landscapes, snow-capped peaks, alpacas, llamas, and possible vicuñas. From there, we will begin a flowy descent through the seven turquoise lagoons of Ausangate, with stops for rest and photos, until reaching Pacchanta, where we can relax in its hot springs.
After breakfast, we will load the bikes and transfer to Cuyuni Pass, from where we will reach the air traffic control radar, the starting point of the descent toward the Andahuaylillas Valley. The route combines fast and flowy sections with small stairs, natural turns, and agricultural landscapes, always accompanied by views of the Ausangate snow-capped mountain and traditional communities. The ride ends in Urcos, where we will have lunch before returning to Cusco.
We will start the day with a transfer to Ocoruro Pass to ride the El Brujo trail, a technical route along a mountain ridge with stone obstacles, handmade stairs, turns, and vertical sections. Then we will continue to Corao Pass to ride the Yunkaypata trail, a descent with steep stairs, loose terrain, roots, ramps, bermed turns, and forested areas. This will be the perfect closing ride after several days of enduro adventure in the Andes of Cusco.
On this final day, we will transfer you to the airport according to your flight departure time, bringing our services to an end.
