Our Peru Bike Tour to Machu Picchu has it all, breathtaking views of the Andes, spectacular Inca Ruins, awesome downhill cruising, Urcos floating reed islands on Lake Titicaca and a day hike on the Inca Trail through the Sun Gate to Machu Picchu. The tour begins in Cuzco, Peru, the archaeological capital of South America. After touring the city and visiting Sacsayhuaman, an enormous Inca fortress shaped like the head of a puma, we depart by bike for a remarkable downhill cruise to the colorful Sunday market in Pisaq. Next, we fly south to Lake Titicaca where a boat will take us to the amazing reed islands of the Uros Indians and then on to Taquile Island for a cozy night in a wonderful native-owned inn.
