From this point you will start your bicycle journey as you pass by Huaypo Lagoon to reach the archaeological site of Moray.
See terraced circular depressions that Moray is known for during your guided tour. These terraces are said to have been used for agricultural purpose. A quick descent will then take you to the town of Maras. Have your box lunch and continue to Salineras de Maras, a wonderful place with more than 3000 salt pits. These pits are said to have been in use since pre-Incan days to harvest salt. Travel back to Cusco after your second guided tour of the day, arriving in the city at around 6:00 pm. Your drop-off point is the city centre (Cusco's main square).
You will cover around 35 km in six to seven hours on a bicycle during this trip and see impressive views of glaciers, valleys and high Andean landscapes all along. This trip is ideal not only for adventure lovers but also for those interested in photography.

The Andean condor is the largest flying bird in the world and this private, guided trip is the perfect option for all the bird lovers out there who want to see these majestic giants soar over the Peruvian landscape.
Start your tour with a pickup from your hotel at around 7:00 am. Leave Cusco city for the archeo–astronomical centre of Killarumiyoq, located in Anta.
Head for the town of Limatambo after a guided visit of the centre and continue towards the department of Apurímac. Visit Tarawasi, which has one of the few remaining Andean cult structures. After that, it is time for lunch.
On the road again, we will arrive at the Huayronka Bridge and take a detour to Chonta. You will soon reach the area with three condor viewpoints. See giant Andean condors soaring over cliffs and canyons as you start your walk from the first to the last viewpoint, which takes around an hour. Spend two hours total watching the birds, exploring the area and taking pictures. We will drive you back to the city after the tour is over and drop you off at your accommodation.
There are more than one colorful mountains around Cusco. Although not as well known as Vinicunca, Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain is an incredible natural landmark, a mountain splashed with stripes of different colors just like its more famous sibling. Book with us and get the chance to visit this less crowded but equally beautiful alternative to Vinicunca.
We will pick you up from your accommodation in Peru early in the morning and drive you south of Cusco. Travel for approximately two hours until you reach Cusipata, where you will have your breakfast. Your journey continues through the Cusco-Puno Road to Combapata, where we will take a detour along the left bank of the Salka River (it is a dirt road from this point on). Enjoy beautiful high Andean landscapes as the journey continues. You might even spot herds of alpaca and llamas if you are lucky. Reach Palccoyo after one more hour on the road.
The view of a colorful mountain strikes you right at the parking lot. You have ten minutes to get ready before we start walking. It takes a short, 40-minute hike to reach the main viewpoint from where you can see three colorful mountains as well as a valley swathed in red. Looming in the background is the mighty Ausangate Mountain.
You also have the option to take a short, 15-minute walk to the nearby stone forest from where the views are even more impressive.
Spend sometime admiring the beauty of the mountains before it is time to return. Take the same route back to Cusipata, where a delicious buffet lunch will be provided. Continue your journey to Cusco with the aim to reach the city by 6:00 pm. We will drop you off at your hotel on arrival in the city.
This six-hour, guided, group tour will take you to two Inca highlights around Cusco. We will pick you up from your accommodation in Cusco at 8:00 am and drive you through the mountains to Moray, the first destination of this trip.
Once there, you will get the chance to learn more about the importance of this place and its function in the Inca era while taking some amazing photos. Located on a high plateau around 50 kilometres outside Cusco, Moray consists of several terraced, circular depressions along with an irrigation system and is said to have been used as an agricultural laboratory by the Incas.
Next, we will take to the town of Maras where you can see Spanish, colonial-style architecture. But more than that, Maras is famous for its salinas, or salt ponds. Take in the sight of more than 3,000 salt ponds dug down a canyon in terraces. These ponds are still being maintained and exploited by the local population.
It is time to return to Cusco after you are done seeing the two highlights. The transport will drop you off at the city centre (Cusco's main square) at 2:00 pm. However, if you have booked the optional private transport with us, we will drop you off at your hotel in the city.

The trip was really good with lots of standout places and experiences. Our trip manager was brilliant. He was friendly and knowledgeable and made everything easy. Some of the accommodation wasn’t the best (poor showers, uncomfortable beds, no safety lock box, no elevator) but for the most part acceptable.
