"Dey is the one who started kinti biking here in Peru, he is a great guy who likes all kinds of outdoor adventures, but what he loves to do the most is mountain biking in general, that is why he is always exploring new MTB trails in the Andean mountains and he will make sure your MTB adventure becomes an unforgettable experience."

Mountain Biking in Cusco: FAQs

Is Cusco good for mountain biking?

Yes. Cusco sits at 3,400 m surrounded by ridges above 4,000 m, so shuttled descents of more than 1,000 m are common. Trails mix Inca stone paths, shepherd singletrack and Andean forest, with options from easy dirt roads to expert enduro and downhill, which makes it one of the best places for mountain biking in Peru.

Do I need to bring my own bike?

No. Our full-day tours include a full-suspension mountain bike, helmet, knee pads and gloves, plus private transport, professional MTB guides, lunch, water and snacks.

What level do I need?

It depends on the ride. Cusco By Bike and Maras Moray Biking are easy and family friendly, while Cusco Epic Trails and Patacancha Enduro are for advanced and expert riders. Every tour page shows its difficulty, maximum and minimum altitude and distance.

How much does a Cusco bike tour cost?

Full-day tours start at $120 per rider for groups of three or more, and multi-day trips start at $1,400. Prices per person go down as the group grows, and you can book online with a deposit.

How should I prepare for the altitude?

Spend at least 1 to 2 days in Cusco before riding, drink plenty of water and start with a lower ride. Most of our routes start between 3,800 and 5,000 m a.s.l., and our guides set the pace for the group.

When is the best time to ride in Cusco?

The dry season, from May to October, has the best trail conditions. From November to April it rains more often and trails can be muddy, but many routes can still be ridden.

 Verified Cusco MTB Tour
I had a fantastic solo experience exploring the best singletrack, Inca ruins, and even urban downhill with Kinti in Cusco. He was an incredible guide - knowledgeable, patient, and fun. Leading the way through beautiful and technical trails that gave me a great feel for the region. There is a fair amount of techinical terrain so I wouldn’t recommend it for beginners, but Kinti did an excellent job breaking down each section and explaining what to expect. My rental was great and Kinti had all the gear you need. I’m already looking forward to returning and riding the Sacred Valley trails next time!

 Verified This was amazing I want to go again!
I found Kinti thru some MTB riders I follow. I was so intrigued by what they post I had to come ride here.  Making contact with Kinti was easy I emailed them and he followed up with texts to make sure I had received the email we then corresponded back-and-forth via WhatsApp . He was very informative answered all my questions on trail options ,skill level, and a date availablity when I would be in town. They arranged to pick me up . They inquired about food restrictions for the day and found a vegan place to eat for lunch which is greatly appreciated because that is not an easy feat considering how far out the tour takes you. My guides Jonathan and Jason were awesome and our driver Miguel did a great job of getting us to and from everywhere safely.  Trips like this when you were in a vehicle with strangers for an extended period of time can be awkward. These fellas made me feel like we’ve known each other forever. The conversations were great and fluid. There was no real weirdness to it, which is impressive because that is not an easytask in itself. They supplied me with all the necessary, safety equipment, and a bike that was in great working order. The views and the trails were just spectacular. There’s almost no words to describe how amazing is experience. Along the way, they stopped to give history and facts about where we were riding they explained things about the cities and villages we were riding thru. We rode around the Sacred Valley the Maras salt mines the Laras trail and we ended by meeting another group for some urban downhill ! I could not have asked for better group of people to take on me on this adventure. I definitely recommend using these fellas ! It is well worth the price of admission!! Thanks Kinti Tours for the great memories and the ride of a lifetime!!

 Verified Amazing MTB experience
Had an unbelievable experience mountain biking in the Sacred Valley with Kinti. Booked the La Maxima single day as a solo rider as my wife doesn't ride and stayed back in Cusco.I'm an advanced rider and this trip certainly requires strong intermediate skills. Kinti provided all the gear including a great bike and protective gear. They also had plenty of snacks water and took plenty of photos so I could focus on staying in the moment.Communication was outstanding, pick up at my hotel in Cusco was easily arranged and we even had time to do a little bit of the urban downhill at the end of the day, let's just added to an already amazing experience. Highly recommend booking any Cusco/Sacred Valley area mountain biking experience with Kinti

 Verified The Most Special Birthday Ride
Deybi and co could not have been better guides. I wanted to go for a birthday ride in the Andes, and picked the best tour guide. Communication was smooth and clear leading up to and on the day of the ride, and the bike/gear provided was perfect for the job. Deybi made sure to gauge my skill first by taking me on a few warm-up runs before we went for an epic 5k’ flowy/chunky descent. I had forgotten a rain shell, but luckily Deybi was prepared for every scenario and had a spare for me to borrow. During every run, he and his partner were very mindful to make sure I was doing okay, took lots of photos and videos, and provided all the snacks I could possibly want. Beyond the ride itself, Deybi did an amazing job of being an ambassador of his country and culture, providing explanations for everything we passed, historical or otherwise, and took me for an excellent and authentic lunch. Spending the day with Deybi and friends felt like a truly local experience, and made for a really special birthday. I can’t wait to come back and see what else is on offer!

 Verified World Class!
My dream to ride the Inca trail fulfilled! That was one of the best tour service I had! They are very professional and friendly. I felt like a king because I have a driver, professional guide, 2nd rider behind for safety and video. I had a blast and looking forward to come back and ride with them. Kinti is the best!

 Verified Bucket list
Truly excellent riders who are also excellent guides. We rode with Kinti for 6 days and had a blast around Cusco and the Sacred Valley. I'm used to black diamonds in western Canada, but a lot of these trails are very different, so it was great variety for me. Exposure, narrow single track, rocky, loose, steep and rowdy! Tons of fun! Just to note - the high altitude isn't to be taken lightly.

 Verified Sacred ride of the Incas
These guys were great! They picked us up at the hotel took us on several different trails. They were knowledgeable about all the local ruins, farm land and history. They provided snacks and drinks. They took a bunch of pictures and videos and sent them to us. Mountain Bile were quality brands. In addition, they were great mountain bikers as well.

 Verified The best Enduro bike trip of my life with the best guide!
When we planned the trip with my friends we had high expectations of Cusco, its Trail and Kinti (the best guide). What really happened is that this trip far exceeded those expectations and is now the new benchmark for bike trips. Kinti knows the entire region of Cusco and the Sacred Valley very well and took us to some incredible places where we couldn't get enough of the spectacular views and trails we had. There were 5 days of cycling and 1 in Machu Picchu, the days of cycling were simply spectacular, it is difficult to put into words what we experienced, passing through unique landscapes, Inca ruins, Inca roads and iconic places. We had a lot of fun, so much so that the last two days of cycling we decided to skip lunch so we could ride more. On the trails Kinti gave very good explanations of what the trail was like, the difficulties they had and the best way to overcome them. All the logistics of the tour were perfect, all the details, the snacks, the trails, the meals, the knowledge, etc. were simply spectacular.

 Verified Bike Trip In Cusco, Sacred Valley, and Machu Pichu in Peru
The best bike trip I have ever taken. Kinti is an incredible guide. He has a lot of experience and it shows. He is an expert in everything related to Cusco and the surrounding area: History of the Incas - the most impressive town I have ever known -, the surrounding valleys and mountains, and the people who currently live there. He is an expert bike rider, he knows the routes very well and explains them very accurately. He stops and knows what is coming. He is very good with the mechanics of the bike. I ran out of brake fluid one of the days and the next day he fixed them. He fixed flat tires and other mechanical problems for the other 4 friends who accompanied me. As for the bike routes: We spent 3 days in the sacred valley, one day on the trails of Cusco and one day we went to Machi Pichu. The rails are very long, technical, and with flow, with incredible views. Kinti made sure to take us to archaeological sites such as the Inca salt mines, which were very difficult to visit on foot. One day we left the bikes and went to Machupichu. Kinti had everything perfectly well prepared. The train, the visit (he is an excellent Machu Pichu guide, he explained all the ruins to us). Lunch was excellent - and just in time for the train back - that same day we went up to Huayna Pichu, a ruin in the middle of a mountain that I dare say is the historical site that has impacted me the most. I cannot recommend Kinti more, an excellent human being, cyclist and guide.
