3-Day Mountain Biking in the Sacred Valley
Mountain biking in Peru offers some of the best down-hill descents in the world. Using a mix of rarely used dirt roads, ancient Inca Trails and smooth mule tracks we descend to an amazing 2,000m in just two days, visiting delightful villages, Inca ruins and relaxing hot-springs. A full support vehicle is on-hand at all times for any tired and weary riders. This is a perfect add-on to the Inca Trail or Train to Machu Picchu!
