On this tour you’ll be exploring the beautiful landscapes of the Sacred Valley on our brand new mountain bikes. During the trip you’ll visit the archaeological site of Moray and the Maras Salt Mines. Moray comprises several circular agricultural terraces built by the Inca civilization. These terraces were used to grow crops from warm climates. On the other hand, Maras is home to the famous pink salt mines. These minerals are a key ingredient in some of the traditional Andean dishes.

We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Cusco. Then we’ll drive to Cruzpata Village, where our adventure will start. Our staff will give a safety briefing and a short training on how to properly use the bikes and equipment. Once ready we’ll depart to Moray. Along the way you’ll see the beautiful Andean landscapes, including the Huaypo lagoon, located next to the bike road.
Next, we’ll be arriving at Moray. This incredible Inca site has circular terraces known as “Andenes”. These structures were used by the Incas to grow crops which came from warm climates, such as the cloud forest region. After having a tour of Moray, we’ll go to the Maras Salt Mines.
Maras has numerous square salt wells from where the unique pink salt is extracted. Our tour guide will explain to you the salt gathering process.
Finally, we’ll go back to Cruzpata village, and then return to Cusco city.
I recently went on the Sacred Valley Bike Tour and it was absolutely amazing! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and showed us the most amazing sights of the valley. The bikes were in great condition and I never felt unsafe at any point. The ride was challenging but not too difficult and we all had a great time.
