Trekking and mountain biking in Peru

Overview

A three-week tailor made active adventure through Peru; mountain biking from Cusco to the Amazon, exploring the jungle by boat and on foot and trekking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Spend two days acclimatising in historic Cusco, four days mountain biking through the Sacred Valley into Andean cloud forest and six days deep in the Amazon before returning to Cusco for a four-day trek along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Staying in a mix of basic hotels, ecolodges and campsites along the way. Cusco’s colonial streets and Incan alleyways are the perfect welcome to Peru. After two days exploring the city jump on your mountain bike to pedal through the Sacred Valley to the lively artisan market at Pisac, and onwards to the Eastern Andean town of Paucartambo. Travel in mid-July to experience its famous Festival of the Virgin of Carmen. Sunrise over the jungle at Tres Cruces is a spectacular start to your final day of biking before you set off on your jungle adventure. Home to a wealth of indigenous wildlife including giant otters, monkeys, giant anteaters, black caiman and the elusive jaguar, the Manu Biosphere Reserve protects one of the Amazon’s most important areas of pristine forest. From jungle campsites and lodges, and with expert guides, you’ll spend five days exploring deep into the virgin rainforest by boat and on foot, binoculars at the ready. Finally return to Cusco by bus to spend four days trekking the classic Inca Trail, arriving at the Sun Gate at dawn to watch the sun rise over the legendary Incan citadel, Machu Picchu.
