Itinerary
We will start our tour by picking you up from your hotel in Cusco, we will drive towards the Sacred Valley for about 1 hour until we reach the town of Calca. We will continue the trip by car for another 1:30 hours until we arrive at Abra Lares, where we will start our biking adventure.
The Abra de Lares is located at 4400 meters above sea level where we will be the starting point, here we can appreciate the spectacular scenery from the beginning, after our guide provides us with safety equipment and a brief instruction about the trail, we will begin with the descent.
The first section will take us through wetlands, we will cross grazing areas, water channels in the style of free ride, a very entertaining area to enjoy the scenery while feeling the adrenaline minute by minute, finishing the tour we will get back in our car to start the second stage of the tour.
The second section is a single-track type, in which you will find sections of stone, stairs and water channels. We will descend approximately 15 km, among alpaca and llama grazing areas. The landscapes are amazing from this side of the pass, we will make stops in strategic places where we will find vestiges of pre-Inca tombs.
Already in the town of Calca we will go to enjoy a delicious lunch to end our tour.
