Maras & Moray Mountain Bike Tour

Code : ZA5C

The great number of trails surrounding the city of Cusco, in the heart of the Andes in southern Peru, make up a paradise for mountain bikers. In the highland region, thousands of trails and paths reveal beautiful landscapes, Inca remains and friendly local people.

This one-day mountain biking trip takes you through the Andes, surrounding Cusco, to the town of Maras and the Inca terraces of Moray.

Moray was most likely used by the Incas as an agricultural experimental station. This tour is suitable for beginners as well as more experienced bikers. You will ride on your choice of roads, passing through small villages for approximately 5 hours (30 km). The beautiful landscapes and the abundance of flora and fauna such as hummingbirds and butterflies will make you feel like a part of nature! You will eat lunch at Moray and continue the day with a visit to the Pre-Inca salt terraces of Salineras: the perfect way to spend a free day around Cusco.
