Itinerary

09:00 hrs We will meet at our office or we could pick you up with our vehicle from your accommodation, the guide will give you the instructions on the way to our first stop in the upper part of Cusco. We will pass by the archaeological centers of Sacsayhuaman, Puka Pukara and Tambomachay (We will have short stops to appreciate the archaeological centers a little more).

09:45 hrs We will go to our station to be able to provide a very fun Culinary experience which will allow us to provide an explanation about the diversity of products that fed the ancestors of the Incanate and the locals where potatoes, corn and quinoa will be the protagonists of the event

10:30 hrs The town of Yunkaypata located at 3737 meters above sea level and will be our starting point on two wheels. In this place our guide will give us a brief safety talk and they will provide us with the safety equipment. We will ride along a road that was once used for logging. Today, thanks to the collaboration of many cyclists, it has become a mountain bike circuit for beginners or for enjoying a good family bike ride.

As we ride along the trail, we will see agricultural areas, houses still made of mud, and sections of eucalyptus trees. The temperature at this altitude is cool on sunny and cloudy days, it is a bit cold (approximately 15° Celsius).

At a certain point in the route we will arrive at an archaeological center called Kallachaka or Rumi Wasi, famous for its system of circular terraces and Inca canals that were used for rainwater retention and agriculture. We will follow the trail downhill, taking us into a beautiful forest. The path becomes a bit more demanding, it will require a bit more effort as you descend.

Depending on the ability of the group, our guide may modify the itinerary, making it longer and adding a higher level of difficulty to the route.
