Experience World Class Mountain Biking in Peru

On two wheels, Peru opens up in a whole new way. Mountain biking with Amazonas Explorer means following dirt tracks through farming valleys, coasting past ancient terraces, and feeling the rush of descents framed by snowcapped peaks. Every bend in the trail reveals another snapshot of Andean life—shepherds with their flocks, children waving from adobe doorways, and ruins perched on impossible ridgelines.

For those who want the ride without worrying about altitude or endurance, e-bikes make the Andes more accessible than ever. With the gentle push of pedal-assist, climbs become manageable and long days in the saddle turn into pure enjoyment. It’s the same landscapes, the same immersion—just with a little more energy left to take it all in.

Whether you’re a seasoned rider chasing singletrack or a curious traveler eager to try something new, our guides adapt each route to suit your level. With top-quality bikes, full support, and flexible itineraries, biking in Peru isn’t just about the ride—it’s about the freedom to explore more, see more, and connect more deeply with the Sacred Valley and beyond.

His knowledge of Peru and the surroundings is amazing – Biking Day Trip.

Hi Paul, finished the day cold and wet but super happy. Just wanted to compliment you on your team. I definitely did not expect a chef and food of that nature and caliber. Amazing!! David and the driving on these less than ideal roads, well done. And a special thanks to Carlos!! What a brilliant guide. His knowledge of Peru and the surroundings is amazing. His ability to adjust his pace to never make you feel uncomfortable is a great asset to your business. Absolutely brilliant. I must confess I was concerned after the Friday that the 3 days were not going to meet my expectations, yesterday I was blown away, and today, despite the really freezing shit weather, I was left feeling amazed at all we had accomplished. The rising challenged and tested me, but I am a better rider today as a result of Carlos.  Thank you.

We loved the walking, biking, and experiences, and were so impressed with the organization

What a delightful experience! We all totally clicked and were so enthusiastic about everything. We did exactly what we wanted to do, enjoying great walks with Efrain, who, with his great character, was a HUGE hit with the entire group – everyone was very fond of him. We loved the walking, biking, and experiences, and were so impressed with the organization. This was the best holiday we’ve ever been on! Thanks again for organizing such a super trip! VERY HAPPY CLIENTS! They went to Chile last year (not through us) and think Peru is 10 times more interesting and impressive!

Well planned, superbly guided and supported

I want to add a more personal note of thanks for a fantastic holiday. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, I thought it was well planned, superbly guided and supported by the camp crew. The four main guides were excellent and fully up to the standard I have become used to. Diego did a great job of keeping a very mixed group of cyclists safe and happy and although personally, I was hoping for a bit of single track, the mostly gravel roads allowed for some lovely free-flowing riding and enabled us to look at the scenery without too much risk of becoming part of it! I still can’t believe I rode downhill for a whole day descending around 8,000 feet! If I were to change anything about the first week I would skip the second night in the Amazon Lodge in favour of some more riding. For the second week, Jose did an equally good job. His knowledge and his pride in the history and heritage of the area really brought the trek to life. I enjoyed his sense of humour and his ‘half-minutes.’ Thank you also for instantly converting everything from metres to feet just for me. I enjoyed the un-spoilt open trails mixed with the final historic route from KM104 up to the Sun Gate. What a great way to get the first view of Machu Picchu and to enter it as most visitors were going. I’m pleased I did this mixed week rather than just the ‘classic’ historic Inca Trail. I couldn’t believe I was walking at over 14,000 feet and feeling so good! if I would suggest anything to change it would possibly be to try and plan to return to Cusco straight after lunch and have a final evening as a group. Incidentally, full marks to Jose for sorting out the problem with the train so quickly and efficiently.

Excellent activities, bikes really good quality, picnic lunch superb, all our guides, drive, chef, fantastic. Pedro’s food was wonderful, Jorge was a safe driver who made us feel very comfortable. Jose our guide was absolutely superb, would always highly recommend it. So informative, fun, the right level of culture vs activity. Logistics were excellent and everything ran very smoothly.

the best mountain biking excursion I have ever been on.

Hi Paul, We had a wonderful time mountain biking with Juan Carlos on Saturday. It was honestly the best mountain biking excursion I have ever been on. I would love to do that every day for the rest of my life!

We had a wonderful time – the whole trip exceeded our expectations – big thank you!!!! The mountain biking was great – I decided not to be challenged after lunch and took the easy route (bus) to the salt pans but the rest of the group made it (and in one piece!!!!)

Our favorite part of the entire trip

We did the 1 day Bike A-salt mountain biking trip with 3 friends, and it ended up being my favorite part of the entire trip. It had beautiful scenery, allowed us to see some cool ruins, and was a very fun ride. The first half is more scenic with fireroad trails while the second half of the trip was more technical on donkey trails with some challenging terrain. Our guide, Xavier, was very friendly and enthusiastic about biking. The ride was very safe since they have a van that meets up during the ride every half hour to hour. It also carried food, water, and our stuff so we didn’t have to keep it all on us during the ride. They set up an excellent lunch out on the field with shade and a delicious variety of food. Also, the equipment they rent you is all great quality. Our group wasn’t the most experienced, but they tailor the trip to your skill level. Xavier also gave good tips to us on biking. We accidentally left our jacket in the van after the trip, and while I offered to go pick it up from them, they drove all the way back to our hostel the next day and dropped it off for us, great service! Highly recommend this trip with Amazonas Explorer. The price was excellent for what you get.

The biking was AMAZING!!!! We had a fantastic time.

The biking was AMAZING!!!! We had a fantastic time. Javier was a superb guide, the service, equipment, lunch, snacks were all EXCELLENT!! The terrain was fantastic, we did 3 runs on the half-day and had a great time! We could not have asked for anything more – Thank you very much. We will recommend the company highly to friends who visit in the future. Maybe come back ourselves. We were wishing we had more time on the bikes when we finished!!!

Of all the days we spend in Peru, including the beauty of Machu Picchu, we most fondly remember the 3 days of adventure between Cuzco and Puerto Maldonado! When we met other travelers and Peruvian people afterward and told them about our trip they were looking at us as if we were aliens; most of them never heard of a trip like this, but they all were impressed and it always gave us a good conversation! We hope that Carlos and Edgar made it back safely and sound to Cuzco after your farewell drink in Wasai Lodge. Please pass them our fond memories and mucho mucho thanks. We cannot express how much we enjoyed it! And thank you all for a well-organized trip. Hope we have a chance to come back one day to enjoy more!
