Itinerary
We will meet at our office or we could pick you up with our vehicle from your lodging, the guide will give you the instructions on the way to our first stop in the high part of Cusco. We will pass by the archaeological centers Sacsayhuaman, Puka Pukara and Tambomachay (We will have short stops to appreciate a little more the archaeological centers).
The village of Yunkaypata located at 3737 meters above sea level and will be our starting point on two wheels. In this place our guide will give us a brief safety talk and provide us with safety equipment. We will ride along a road formerly used for logging, today, thanks to the collaboration of many cyclists, it has become a mountain bike circuit for beginners or to enjoy a good cycling tour with the family.
As we ride along the trail, we will observe agricultural areas, houses still made of mud, and sections of eucalyptus trees. The temperature at this altitude is cool on sunny and cloudy days, it is a bit chilly (15° Celsius approx.).
At a certain point we will arrive at an archaeological center called Kallachaka or Rumi Wasi, famous for its system of circular terraces and Inca canals that were used for rain containment and agriculture. We will follow the trail downhill, taking us into a beautiful forest. The trail gets a little more demanding, demanding a little more effort as you descend.
Depending on the ability of the group, our guide may modify the itinerary, making it more extensive and adding a higher level of difficulty to the tour.
