Arrive in Cusco
You’ll meet your guide upon arrival at the airport in Cusco before transferring to your hotel for the night.

When lunchtime rolls around, you can expect a delicious local meal in a restaurant just off of the main square. If there are still a couple of hours left in the day, you may get a chance to go to a local market replete with delicious tropical fruit from the Amazon. At some point, your guide will discuss the exciting, adventurous week ahead. Kick-off your shoes in the evening and enjoy a relaxing night at your hotel, dreaming of your e-biking excursions ahead.

On top of visiting impressive ruins, you’ll get to try out e-biking! First-timers and experts alike will undergo a briefing before riding.

Enter the Sacred Valley
It’s time to leave Cusco! You’ll make your way to the Sacred Valley today.

The day begins with a short bus ride out of Cusco’s chaotic traffic. Once you’re away from the beeping horns, you’ll hop back on your e-bike and head to Saylla, following tarmac road. In Saylla, you’ll veer off and travel down a lesser travelled trail until you reach the Inca ruins of Tipon. If time allows, you may get to visit more Inca ruins (Pikillacta) and enjoy a scenic lunch with Huacarpay Lake as the backdrop. The afternoon ride will have you riding a stunning route to your next destination: Pisac in the Sacred Valley.

Here, you’ll spend time exploring the local market before hopping back on your bike and riding to Urubamba. Your ride to Urubamba unveils glimpses of traditional farming set against a postcard-painted mountainous backdrop.
