Many outdoor enthusiasts assume that Peru’s towering Andes are only ideal for trekking, but this isn’t the case. Most trails can also be accessed on two wheels. One example is taking a cycling trip from Peru’s stunning Sacred Valley all the way to that most famous of Inca citadels, Machu Picchu. You could even embark on a full-day mountain-biking tour of deep canyons, like Apurimac, descending all the way to the bottom river valleys. Multi-day trip ideas include epic cycling excursions from the Spanish-Colonial city of Cusco to the stunning ruins at Ollantaytambo, Sacsayhuaman, and Huchuy Qosqo.
In the span of just over a week, bike across Peru's most famous region and see the Sacred Valley from a different perspective. This itinerary uncovers both the natural beauty of Southern Peru as well as the historical legacy of the Incas.
