If you've ever dreamt of visiting Peru and the Land of the Incas and enjoy riding a bike and walking, this trip is for you. You'll get to visit all the "must-see" sites of Cusco and the Sacred Valley, hike into Machu Picchu on the Royal Inca Trail and, on top of all this, enjoy some amazing biking and vibrant culture in between.
In Cusco, you'll cycle between the Inca ruins of Tambo Machay and Sacsayhuaman as you acclimatise to the altitude. In the Sacred Valley, you'll cycle between Pisac, Chinchero, Maras, Moray and Ollantaytambo, plus get to sample a traditional Peruvian Pachamanca "pit roast" banquet beside the beautiful Lake Huaypo.
Swapping bikes for walking boots for the day, you'll hike the Royal Inca Trail into Machu Picchu and explore these ruins in the quiet of the afternoon (when most people have departed) before catching the train back to Ollantaytambo.
Saving the best for last, your final day of riding goes well off the beaten track as you explore the trails and back roads of the rarely visited Lares Valley where you'll end the day with a dip in the delightful and therapeutic hot springs.
Suitable for reasonably fit cyclists, you'll ride a mix of tarmac and rarely used dirt roads to explore by day, staying at charming locally run hotels at night.
