Maras and Moray Bike Adventure

Your tour starts in the morning as your guide and driver will meet you at your hotel. You head to Chincheros and will be provided with all the safety equipment you need before starting the ride. This is a great tour for most people as the paths are flat and you will take many ‘bike-only’ trails, including the one taken from Chincheros to Moray, where you will visit the Incan circular agricultural terraces.

Your scenery includes river valleys, glaciers and stunning views, with an occasional ruin along the way. After your bike adventure, your guide will take you to the incredible circular terraces of Moray, which were used as an Incan laboratory to acclimatize crops. After lunch, you head off the beaten path to Maras, a typical Andean village. Here you will explore the streets and get a sense that you are walking during the time of the Incas as the culture has remained almost intact. The people continue to wear traditional clothing and the town is lined with historical buildings.

You will then have an opportunity to visit the salt terraces of Maras and see and learn about an ancient pre-Incan method of producing salt. Finally, you will ride to Pichingato, where your van will be ready to take you back to Cusco. This tour is a bit exerting since a longer distance will be covered by bike. However, our van will be following us all along the tour and will be at your disposal whenever you need.
