Discover ruins of Huchuy Q'osqo
Hopefully, you have a good sleep in preparation for today’s adrenaline-pumping bike ride! You’ll kick things off with a crazy car ride that’s almost as exhilarating as the actual bike ride before parking the car somewhere high in the Andes (4000m), hopping out, and getting on your bicycle. Grab your snacks, spares, and begin your exciting ride along an Inca trail to an Inca ceremonial platform at around 4200m. From here, you’ll get to fly down the track, speeding by a reel of scenery: Andean hamlets, Inca wonders, Inca hanging bridge. At one point, you’ll have to get off and portage through a remarkable canyon. Come out to a magical viewpoint before continuing along Inca terraces and the ruins at Huchuy Q'osqo. Afterwards, enjoy descending for 800m. At some point, you’ll get to enjoy a delicious lunch! In the evening, you’ll transfer to Ollantaytambo, where you can meander through the plaza.

If you thought yesterday was thrilling, just wait for what’s in store today! You’ll get the amazing opportunity to bike down two of Peru’s best single track downhills.

Eventually, you’ll arrive in Huayllabamba. Drive back to Chinchero for a tasty lunch and a fantastic view of Chicon massif and its surrounding glaciers. But that’s not all today! The afternoon brings another biking adventure. Your guide will choose between two trails; their choice depends on the current conditions. After your ride, you’ll head back to your hotel before going out to a bar and chatting with your group over a rewarding, cold beer.
