Saddle up for this lovely ride through the Sacred Valley.
Cycling is a fabulous way to explore an area. You travel slowly and take a quiet track through the villages and lives of the local people, away from the main tourist area.
You start with a visit to Pisac market, where you can haggle for handicrafts with the local artisans or bite into an empanada fresh from the town oven. When it is time to start riding you grab a helmet and gloves and hop onto your full suspension cross country bike, carefully set up for you by your guide.
Then simply push off and pedal you way along this beautiful trail. The route is mainly downhill or flat, on good wide trail. Along the way you will enjoy another tasty picnic lunch.
Included: bike and safety equipment, breakfast, lunch, snack and water, skilled bike guide, transport, hotel Sacred Valley
Lace up your boots for a challenging twelve kilometre hike on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
Climb through steamy cloud forest, past vast Inca ruins before clambering up the final stone steps to emerge triumphant at the Sun Gate.
Marvel at the majesty of Machu Picchu spread before you then carry on down to Machu Picchu town and a well earned rest.
Follow in the footsteps of the explorers and discover the secret city built by the Incas on this remote mountaintop.
Learn how they built it, wonder why they built it and close your eyes to imagine just how impressive it must have been at the height of the Inca Empire.
Then ride the train tracks on one of the great train journeys of the world, along the churning Urubamba river to Cusco.
Included: breakfast, transport, Machu Picchu entrance, hotel in Cusco
Make the most of your last day in Cusco. Today is left free to allow you to make the decisions. Don your apron to prepare ceviche and pisco sours in a cooking class, explore the side streets and markets on foot, or grab a coffee and watch the world go by.
Airport transfers are included if you are flying out today. But if you have time why not continue your adventure with a visit to Lake Titicaca, Colca Canyon or the Amazon jungle.
