A Full Day Mountain Bike Tour

This full day mountain bike tour is one of the best ways to explore the Cusco area. It’s perfect for beginner and intermediate riders who are looking for adventure. After booking your ride, you will receive a follow up email. The morning of the bike ride we will give you all the gear you need for the bike tour. After about one hour drive we will arrive at the trail head some 4080 meters / 13,385 ft above sea level. Your Gravity Peru Bike Team Members will give you a safety talk and help you get to know your mountain bike.

Once ready, we begin the downhill on a combination of dirt, gravel, and paved roads. The pitch is manageable and bikers of all levels will feel confident riding. The road eventually passes the town of Paruro and then starts running along side the powerful Apurimac river. You will descend for 3-4 hours through changing micro-climates and small Andean villages. The mix of tight turns, beautiful views, and local farmers with their animals will make this a day to remember. The ride ends at a beautiful bridge crossing the Apurimac river at an altitude of 2,605 meters/8543 ft for a total descent of 1,475 meters/4,842 ft.

Depending on the day, we’ll either have an authentic Peruvian lunch with some local friends or find yourself on a lookout with a generous packed picnic lunch.

You will arrive back in Cusco between 5-7pm.


Better than the Inca Jungle Bike Tour

The Inca Legends Bike Tour is a safe alternative to and better than the Inca Jungle bike tour. We keep you far from the crowded tourist areas and take you into an area that’s rich in beauty and unique. The Inca Jungle bike tour is over crowded and takes place on a busy paved road with lots of cars and crazy drivers.
