From the Inca capital to the Sacred Valley in a single day, crossing the high plateau and descending past an Inca citadel.
This is the great traverse of the e-bike catalogue: linking Cusco with the Sacred Valley under your own power, something that on a normal bike means a full day of climbing and here becomes a day you actually enjoy.
We leave the city for the heights, cross the plateau to Lake Qoricocha and continue over páramo, pastures and ancestral paths where you only meet shepherds and their herds.

The high point of the day is the Cuper Pass – Chinchero, at 4,400 m, and from there the trail drops to Huchuy Qosqo (≈3,650 m), "little Cusco" in Quechua: a royal Inca estate attributed to Wiracocha Inca, set on a natural terrace above the valley, with its great adobe kallanka, farming terraces, storehouses and a water channel that still runs. After the visit comes the reward: the thousand-turn descent through the terraces to the village of Lamay. If you prefer, the day can also finish in Calca, at the same altitude.
E-bike, protective gear, guide and support vehicle included. Lunch, the Huchuy Qosqo entrance and hotel pick-up or return from Lamay are not included.
9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Fixed meeting point in Cusco; the private support vehicle follows all day and handles the transfers at the start and the finish. The day ends in Lamay or, if you prefer, in Calca.
For riders comfortable on singletrack: a long day, a mountain pass at 4,400 m and some technical descending through the terraces.
The route goes above 4,000 m: we recommend two or three nights in Cusco or the Sacred Valley first.
