Overview

Go for a bike ride off the beaten track and enjoy the fresh air stunning scenery of surrounding mountains, fresh air in while pedaling through the Sacred Valley to visit the unique agricultural terraces of Moray and the Salt Mines of Maras.

The guide will pick you up from your hotel in the morning at 8:00am, drive 90 minutes in our private van to Cruz Pata, have a short briefing about the mountain bike ride. Begin our ride through farmlands enjoying the fresh air of the Sacred Valley and the landscape of the Andes mountains. Arrive at Moray, which was an experimental agricultural site built in the form of an amphitheater with different temperatures at each level. These terraces were carved before the Incas took control of the Sacred Valley and then used by the Incas to discover the optimal growing conditions for their crops. Archeologists have found that they produced over 250 different types of crops in Moray!

Continue our bike ride to the Maras Salt Mines, the Salineras which is all downhill. Over three thousand salt ponds have been used to extract salt since before Inca times. A hot spring at the top of the valley trickles a stream of salty water, which fills the salt ponds and evaporates to produce salt.

Continue cycling downhill to Urubamba where we meet our private van to head back to your hotel in Cusco, arriving around 3:30pm – 4:00pm.

Trip to Rainbow mountain. First to the mountain thanks to Yair’s expert driving and special thanks to Cristian for being my guide. Highly recommend!

Our group of 8 did the 3-day Inca trail tour. From the very beginning Ray demonstrated his knowledge by answering all our questions thoroughly. Trekking the Inca trail was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life. I can say for certain that I would not have finished the trail, if not for Ray. I am not active at all, and hiking up and down a mountain, for 7 hours, seemed impossible. Within the first 10 minutes I was ready to be done. That sentiment was shared within most of my group.

Our tour guide Ray was excellent and very helpful. And we did the short inks trail to machupicchu thanks for the experience

Ray was absolutely amazing 😎 would definitely recommend him to anyone that wants to travel to Machu Picchu !!! Best experience of my life and off my bucket list🙏🏾

Vinimos desde Choquequirao para visitar Machu Picchu e incluso después de todos los momentos inolvidables del trekking con Jhony como nuestro guía Machu Picchu fue realmente memorable. Tener boletos para la entrada de las 6 a.m. fue fantástico, ya que nos permitió explorar con menos multitudes y presenciar la niebla que se elevaba sobre las ruinas.

Éramos un grupo de tres que decidimos realizar un recorrido de un día por el Valle Sagrado de Orange Nations, contemplando Ollyantaytambo y terminando en Cusco. La mejor decisión que tomamos fue que fuimos recibidos por nuestro increíble guía Miguel justo a tiempo, quien nos llevó a este increíble día lleno de diversión, risas y con un gran conocimiento sobre el área.

This was my first time in Peru and I wanted to do something bigger and better than Machu Picchu. I was searching online and came across Orange Nation's "Choquequirao Trek to Machu Picchu" , which is three times larger than Machu Picchu. Since Peru is known for a Machu Picchu
