Tour MeetsCusco, Peru
Fly in toAlejandro Velasco Astete Cusco International Airport (CUZ)
Group Size2-16 ridersCusco is located at an altitude of 3,300 m (11,152 ft.) ASL. Please arrive one day or more before the start of the tour so your body can acclimate to the lower oxygen conditions. This will help to reduce the risk of suffering from altitude sickness. We have 7 riding days covering a total of 364 km. On most days we include a vehicle transfer before and/or after our ride to help avoid challenging climbs (very difficult at altitude, even for seasoned riders!) and keep the distances manageable. Day 5 and Day 9 are off the bike as we'll be spending time in Manu National Park and at Machu Picchu, respectively.
The trip is fully supported, and your guide’s expert knowledge of the area and terrain means that you always know what is coming up in terms of distance and difficulty. This makes a tremendous difference, as does the constant supply of water and refreshments along the way.
Suitability: This trip is suitable for anyone with a reasonable fitness level and has been designed for all levels of rider. This trip is not a very technical off-road trip and is suitable for gravel bikes as well as mountain bikes, although gravel bike riders should be experienced on rough terrain and prepared to get off and push on occasion. The climbing is very moderate with a focus on downhills, of which are some truly incredible ones. The climbing is interspersed along undulating terrain. A support vehicle is available at all times to provide refuge for weary riders.
Biking Conditions: This tour follows a wide mix of roads and riding surfaces including gravel roads, dirt tracks, broken roads and some good sealed roads as well as a few sections of single-track. Most of the trails we ride are wide dirt and gravel tracks with about 30% on tarmac. We have full suspension Mountain Bikes as our default rental option and we think this is the best and most comfortable ride for this trip but the terrain is rideable on a gravel bike or hardtail MTB and you are welcome to bring your bike. E-bikes are also available for rent on this tour.
A Note on Machu Picchu: To visit Machu Picchu, advance ticket purchase through the Ministry of Culture is required due to high demand and visitor regulations. Our tour price covers this, but we ask for an upfront, non-refundable payment of 250 USD per person so that we may take care of it well in advance. This will be deducted from the final balance due. Please note that this price also includes the train ticket which must also be reserved in advance. We also need a copy of your passport, as required by the authentication system of the Peruvian government platform.

However, you can hire bikes locally for the price listed in the tour pricing section. If you bring your own bike, please make sure it is a mountain or gravel bike in good mechanical order.
We also have E-Bikes available for hire, but they are limited in number & size - please send an email to us to check on availability.
Basic spares and tools are carried by the guide and on the support vehicle, though we cannot guarantee having spares for every conceivable problem. Carrying a basic tool kit, a spare tube and a pump while riding is recommended.
Wearing a helmet is required on all our biking adventures and is non negotiable. If you do not wear a helmet you will not be allowed to cycle. Your tour leader is trained in first aid and emergency rescue, but to a large degree you must be responsible for your own safety while riding. It is therefore compulsory that you take out travel insurance that will cover you for a mountain biking tour.
You will be led by a local English-speaking guide and if the group is 9 people or more we will add another guide to the tour. All our guides are well informed in the history, culture and religions of the area where you are biking and are skilled at passing that knowledge on to you. Your guide is also medically trained and an experienced cyclist, able to handle most minor repairs en route.

Peru has three seasons as well as distinctly different climates in the coast, mountains and jungle areas. The dry season runs from May – October and is the best time of year to travel, especially around Cusco when the days are sunny, the nights cold and there is very little rain. During the day the temperature can reach 24 ° C and at nightfall to Zero °C. In the lower jungle, the temperatures and humidity will be higher and temperatures can reach 30°C. and rain is always a possibility, especially in the shoulder season. You should bring a waterproof jacket and pants, while Cusco can get quite cold so bring a fleece and some colder weather riding gear such as arm-warmers and a gilet for the days at altitude. Sun cream is also a must, as is a covering for your head. ~~~
If you’re a food enthusiast, you will probably already have Peru firmly in your sights as it has been fêted on the world food scene as one of the world’s best culinary destinations. The country’s gastronomic boom owes a great deal to its biodiversity along with its multicultural heritage and the mix of flavours in Peruvian cuisine reflects the mix of cultures that have arrived in Peru over the last 500 years. It began with pre-Hispanic cuisine that developed dishes and cooking methods like pachamanca and cuy chactado. Then, when Spanish colonization brought European and Moorish influences, followed by African, Chinese, Japanese cuisine that blended seamlessly to produce Chifa cuisine and dishes such as Ceviche, Lomo Saltado and Ají, Peruvian hot-sauce. You will have lots of opportunities to try the local cuisine and we work hard to make sure you sample a wide variety of typical dishes during your time in Peru. ~~~
Keeping you completely hydrated is a job we take very seriously. Coldwater, some energy restoring local fruit and soft drinks are included in the tour price while riding. Soft drinks and other beverages during meals are not included. You may also want to bring electrolytes in powder or tablet form. Alcoholic drinks are available everywhere but are not included. Beer in Peru is freely available and very good. Peruvian wine is not the best in the world but near neighbours Chile and Argentina do produce world-class wines and are freely available. However, the most popular drink in Peru is Pisco. Pisco is distilled in southern regions of the country like Moquegua, Arequipa, Tacna and Ica and this brandy-like liquor served as a Pisco sour is an excellent appetizer to precede lunch or dinner. ~~~
SpiceRoads does not require you to pay a surcharge for travelling alone. We will arrange for you to share accommodation with another traveller of the same gender and if we can not match you up we will provide a single room at no extra charge. If you prefer not to share a single supplement is payable to guarantee your single room. The cost of the single supplement is listed above. ~~~
We recommend that you tuck away a few extra US Dollars for possible incidentals that might arise. It is always wise to have some paper currency in case of ATM absence or credit card problems. This will save you a lot of unnecessary worries. It is also customary to tip local tour guides and drivers; however, the amount you give should be dependent on the level of service you receive. ~~~
The official currency of Peru is the Sol (S/). Banknotes have denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100 or 200 soles. Coins come in values of 1, 2 and 5 soles, as well as 10, 20 and 50 cents. ATMs that accept major credit cards can be found in all sizable towns and cities. It’s best to use credit cards as a backup for cash. There are many foreign exchange offices in every city and town and at major attractions. The best currencies to take are US dollars. ~~~
Overall, the level of petty crime is much less than in most Western countries. However, take the usual precautions about avoiding rowdy political demonstrations, not flashing money around and being aware of pickpockets in crowded places. ~~~

Welcome to Cusco, the former capital of the Incan Empire! Located at an altitude of 3,300 m (11,152 ft), Cusco is one of the highest cities in the world. Please arrive at least one day prior to the start of the tour as living at this altitude takes some getting used to – let us know if you would like assistance with a pre-tour hotel and airport transfer. On the first day of the trip, we meet at our tour hotel in the morning and enjoy a casual walking tour along the city’s cobblestone alleys. We'll visit the Plaza de Arma, the Cathedral and the impressive Incan temple of Coricancha, complemented with lunch at a local restaurant. Today we’ll also arrange bike fittings, a trip briefing, and treat ourselves to a welcome dinner.
Casa Andina Premium Cusco 
Lunch, DinnerThis morning we have a short 30-minute transfer out of Cuzco to avoid traffic. Saddling on near the small town of Husao, we begin cycling along a smooth tarmac road downhill towards Huambutio. There, we diverge from the main road onto a captivating, lesser-traveled path that runs parallel to the Urubamba River. Our inaugural ride is dedicated to embracing the awe-inspiring Andean landscapes that surround us – towering peaks and lush valleys with time-honored Incan agricultural terraces cascading down the hillsides. We pause for a picnic lunch and continue onwards to the charming town of Pisac, with its facade of colonial buildings nestled amidst the mountains. Our aim is to arrive in time for Pisac’s lively artisan market, a fantastic opportunity to collect unique souvenirs or capture the essence of an authentic Andean market scene.
Pisac InnBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Ride 43km
+262m
-441mFrom Pisac, we transfer 45 minutes uphill to a 4,100 m ASL pass in the Peruvian Altiplano, a vast high-altitude plateau of rugged mountains, rolling plains, and tranquil lakes. We then cycle downhill for nearly 50 km to the village of Paucartambo, surrounded by striking natural scenery. After another 45-minute uphill transfer to the edge of Manu National Park — one of the world’s greatest biodiversity hotspots — we get back on our bikes and descend 15 km, entering the heart of Peru’s cloud forest. Based at an environmental research station dedicated to cloud forest ecology, we head out on a short hike into this mist-laden ecosystem, where a near-constant supply of moisture nurtures a rich diversity of birds, orchids, amphibians, and mammals. Spending the night here, surrounded by pristine nature and misty views, offers a truly unique experience.
Wayqecha Cloud Forest Research Station Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Ride 64km+436m-2253mEarly birds should rise pre-dawn to witness an incredible sunrise over the dense, dewy canopy of the cloud forest. After breakfast, we continue our descent into Manu National Park, dropping nearly 3,000 metres into the lowlands of the Amazon Basin, where an untamed wilderness sprawls in the shadows of the Andean foothills. Our route follows winding, narrow roads — a mix of uneven pavement, gravel, and sand — so we take a steady pace as the rainforest grows lusher around us. Along the way, we pass small villages, some established by early European settlers, which make for interesting refreshment stops. We finish our ride at a cosy ecolodge that partners with indigenous communities on conservation efforts and features a farm-to-table restaurant. Spending two nights here offers a wholesome and immersive experience in Peru’s largest protected natural region.
Manu BiolodgeBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Ride 63km+465m-2845mToday is a very special day inside Manu National Park. Being based at this unique Lodge we have one of the world’s most incredible, diverse and fragile ecosystems literally at our doorstep. We’ll give our bikes a break for the day and you have several options to get out into the jungle and explore on foot. The jungle is usually alive very early in the morning so try to get out pre-dawn as this will be your best chance to see wildlife. This is one of the best places in Peru (if not the world!) for birdwatching with more than 630 bird species recorded and an abundance of parrots, parakeets, small macaws and hummingbirds. There is plenty of time to have a siesta to avoid the hottest part of the day. Settle down on the decking (with a cold beer if so inclined), watch the humming birds and soak it all in. In the evening, you can go for a walk to catch the beautiful sunset over the Amazon Basin or join a research student for a frog walk! All meals today are included at the lodge.
Manu BiolodgeBreakfast, Lunch, DinnerAfter a dawn chorus from local birds and perhaps howler monkeys, we retrace our journey into the Andes, heading back to Pisac and the Sacred Valley by vehicle. The total driving time is around 4-5 hours and mostly uphill, though there are two exhilarating downhill sections which may tempt us into the saddle for some free-flowing descents. You will remember these stretches as we skipped them when they were ascents on our way down into the Amazon, so you can now fill in these gaps. Both descents are around 25 km, and the second leads directly into Pisac where we spend the night for a second time on the tour.
Pisac InnBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Ride 50km+194m-1961mSetting off directly from our hotel in Pisac, we cross the Urubamba River and embark on a picturesque back road, tracing the contours of the Sacred Valley. Just beyond Pisac, we transition onto a lesser-traveled dirt track winding through local villages and haciendas (agricultural estates) pressed against the beautiful backdrop of glaciated mountains and Inca ruins. We pause for a picnic lunch along the way before passing through the villages of Qoya, Lamay, and Calca. Crossing the Urubamba River once more in Huayllabamba, we continue on a well-maintained road through Yucay and Urubamba, eventually reaching Pacchar. Here we cross back for more dirt road riding as we head to the end of the Sacred Valley and the charming village of Ollantaytambo. We will be based here for the next 3 nights.
Hotel PakaritampuBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Ride 61km+474m-642mBased out of Ollantaytambo we embark on a great ride along the fringes of the Sacred Valley. We begin with a transfer to avoid a tough ascent and visit the Incan site of Moray. Known for its spectacular circular stone terraces, Moray is a testament to the advanced agricultural practices of the Inca. We then ride across the highlands on a nice undulating trail to the shores of Lake Huaypo. Here we enjoy a picnic lunch and then hop back on our bikes to discover another rarely used dirt road that takes us to the Maras Salt Pans. Having been mined since Inca times, these spectacular, sparkling white pools of salt are a photographer's delight. We then have a final mostly downhill, 10 km stretch before a quick transfer back to Ollantaytambo where we enjoy a well-deserved dinner.
Hotel PakaritampuBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Ride 43km+830m-550mToday is off the saddle as we set out to visit the most splendid Incan mountaintop ruins of all: Machu Picchu. Referred to as the “Lost City of the Incas”, this incredible sanctuary is simply a must-see when visiting Peru. To get there we will take a train journey that follows the impressive Urubamba River down through the cloud forest and to the base of Machu Picchu mountain itself. Once there, we will participate in an extensive walking tour of the ruins, delving into the intricacies of Machu Picchu's construction techniques, its purpose as a sanctuary and ceremonial center, and gaining insights into the daily life of the Inca civilization that thrived within these breathtaking stone walls. We’ll enjoy lunch at a nearby restaurant before heading back to the train station for the return journey along the Sacred Valley to our base in Ollantaytambo. Dinner is on your own tonight.
Hotel PakaritampuBreakfast, LunchOur final day will be a total adventure well off the beaten track in the Sacred Valley. We begin with a vehicle transfer up to heights of 4,000 m ASL in the Andes and then cycle downhill into the beautiful and remote Lares Valley. Passing the village of HuacaHuasi, we descend on a good dirt road to the hot spring town of Lares where we can take a quick dip in these medicinal springs before enjoying a picnic lunch.. Another short vehicle transfer brings us to Abra Lares which, located at 4,400 m ASL, will be our springboard for a "downhill of a lifetime" taking us along a well paved road from the roof of the Andes to the valley floor below. We end our ride in the historic main square of Calca before returning to Cusco by vehicle transfer.In the evening, we meet for our farewell dinner at Hanz Restaurant, where we indulge in Nikkei cuisine, a unique fusion of Peruvian and Japanese flavors. By dining here, we're also contributing to a good cause, as the restaurant supports rescuing abandoned dogs and providing social support to children in the Andean highlands.
Casa Andina Premium Cusco Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Ride 51km+225m-2853mTime to say goodbye! Feel free to extend your stay in Cusco or venture onwards to discover more of incredible Peru. Please let us know if you would like assistance with a post-tour hotel and airport transfer.
