Cusco City Mountain Bike Tour

The Cusco mountain bike tour starts with the pick up from the hotel located in the city to go towards the starting point of this fantastic bike adventure. You will arrive to the Fortaleza Colonial Aqueduct situated in the community of Tica Huerta – Huarahuaylla, on the way that connects the districts of Poroy and Chinchero, at 3890 meters above sea level.
This beautiful place has a Roman style stone wall with four windows and a main arch, which is still in good state of preservation. The aqueduct was built in 1570 and it was declared as a Cultural Heritage site. This spot provided water to the city during the Inca Empire.
From here, you will begin the biking trip going to Apukunaq Tianan or the Adobe of the Gods, located near from the aqueducts. This is a complex of sculptures carved in stone representing gods and characters from the Inca culture, such as the Puma and the Pachamama, the latter with reference to mother earth.
Taking a downhill path, we are going to pass through many traditional districts as Tica Tica with amazing panoramic views to Sacsayhuamán. Also, you will enjoy a bike ride through other neighborhoods such as San Benito, Picchu, Independencia, until you will reach the Pachacutec roundabout.
At this point, the first circuit is over. The transport will take you to the second starting point located at the community of Huayllarcocha. We are going to visit a local farm to admire amazing fauna such as llamas and alpacas.
Later, you will begin the bike ride taking a downhill path, this time passing very near from Sacsayhuaman, and then, arrive at the district of San Cristobal, where we are going to have stunning views to the city.
We will get the Saphy Street until reach Plaza de Armas, the place where the impressive Cathedral of Cusco is situated.
After this great experience, we are going to drop you off at your hotel.
