Itinerary

Day 1

Tour Itinerary

The day begins with a private transfer of approximately 1 hour to the start of the first trail.

1️ The Other Side

An extremely fluid and fast trail from start to finish. It includes a technical rock garden section, steep areas and freeride-style sections in the middle. It ends with an even faster descent that allows you to release brakes and enjoy the flow to the fullest.

2️ Perolnioc

This route begins with a fluid path that passes near the archaeological complex of Perolniyoc, and then connects with an ancient Inca trail with steps, loose terrain and multiple sharp curves that lead to the spectacular Perolniyoc waterfall.

The trail continues with an enduro-style section and transforms into a long and very fast descent, ending with a series of technical and demanding curves.

After the ride, we will enjoy a delicious lunch at a brewery in the Sacred Valley.

3️ Anta

Returning to Cusco, we will make one last descent in Anta. Although it is a shorter route, it is extremely fun: banks, ramps, drops, roots and a lot of flow to close the day with energy.

A full day of varied, technical and very dynamic MTB.

Note

If you are on your way to Machu Picchu, we can also end the tour in the town or station of Ollantaytambo so you can continue your adventure towards the wonder of Machupicchu.
