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.

We had an incredible experience hiking the Inca Trail with Ray as our guide. Ray was amazing. He was super knowledgeable about the history of the Incas, and he brought that history to life. We visited three larger sites, and several smaller ones that we arrived at by foot deep in the Peruvian jungle. Ray's was an incredible, passionate, and experienced guide, and also just a great person we are lucky to have met. I also have to mention Moses, our porter who made an amazing lunch and hiked it up to our resting spot 2000 ft above the Urambamba River to Wiñaywayna.

Did the short inca trail through sam travel and it was an unforgettable experience. Hiking from the train to the Sun Gate with its beutiful views of macchu piccu was incredible. Our guide, Ray, was extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and always positive. At every location and along the way he had fascinating information to share and no question went unanswered.

He shared clear and detailed explanations, with a fascinating historical narrative that helped us truly connect with the places we explored. I learned so much thanks to him. The atmosphere was also really positive and friendly throughout the tour. Highly recommended!
