Lares MTB downhill biking 1 day

Trip itinerary

A one-day Lares Mountain bike tour guarantees a day filled with fun and excitement. Meet your River Explorers trip leader at your hotel at 6 am. Magnificent views of the Sacred valley to Calca provides the first driving portion of the trip. If the first drive section was great, the second drive to Lares pass (highest point located at 4470 m.a.s.l.) is even more spectacular. Lares pass is also the beginning of your biking tour.

Your biking adventure will begin after receiving all your biking gear and after a safety briefing given by your trip lider.

Biking downhill along  the way, you can enjoy views of lovely local villages and villagers wearing traditional clothes, biking passing across wooden handcrafted breaches, canyons and creeks. Moreover, we will have an opportunity to see Andean animals such as llama, alpaca, vicuna, as well as a variety of birds, etc. Our mountain biking tour also includes a visit to the pre-Incan ruins of Ancasmarca “a peculiar place meant to be warehousing for the different agricultural products.

After a short break, we will continue the journey to Calca, where our transportation will wait to take us back to Cusco. If time is enough take a refreshing bath in “Machacancha” hot springs.
