The city tour, in the open air

The classic city tour keeps you sitting on a bus, waiting your turn and sharing every viewpoint with hundreds of people. This day is the opposite: you leave Cusco's centre on an e-bike, climb effortlessly to the ruins surrounding the city and discover them in the open air, at your own pace.

The electric assistance does all the work on the climbs, so you need no experience and no training: if you can ride a bike, you can do this.

From the historic centre to the Inca ruins and back

We link the most iconic trails of Cusco's mountain biking scene, choosing their most fun, flowing and safe sections: wide tracks, no technical obstacles, with open views over the Cusco valley.

These are pre-Hispanic paths the communities still use every day, and along the way we visit major Inca sites such as Sacsayhuamán, Qenqo, the Temple of the Moon, Puca Pucara and Inkilltambo.
