First thing’s first: meet and greet your guide at the airport before travelling to your hotel. After you drop your bags and freshen up, you’ll embark on a short walking tour of Cusco. It’s time to get acquainted with Peru’s lovely, welcoming culture.
Begin your Sacred Valley biking adventure by visiting a collection of Inca ruins scattered around Cusco! Today’s bike trip will help you acclimate to Peru’s higher elevation while you wind to phenomenal ruins and natural attractions, including Sacsayhuaman, Kenko, and Tambomachay.
A support vehicle will follow you on every biking journey in case of emergencies and to carry extra gear.
Take a bus out of Cusco to escape traffic before hopping on your bike and following a road-less-travelled to Pisac. Bask in the rolling scenery as you ride!
Enjoy a lovely picnic lunch by a soothing river partway through your journey. After arriving in Pisac, you’ll ditch your bike and walk around the town’s artisan market. Get some souvenirs here!
Travel deep into the Sacred Valley of the Incas on today’s ride! Before you hop on your bike, you’ll take a short drive above Pisac, where some stunning ruins await.
After crossing the river of Taray, you’ll get on your bikes and ride along a dirt track. Catch glimpses of rural life in the Sacred Valley while Inca ruins and glaciated mountains stand tall in the background.
Your Peruvian biking adventure begins with a short car ride to Lake Piuray, where you’ll unload your bikes and start riding. Cycle along the gentle trail bordering the lake until you join the road that leads to Chinchero. You may be able to witness traditional weavings take place while you’re here!
Continue riding to Lake Huaypo and enjoy an authentic Pachamanca (a local way of making food in the Andes) lunch here. Bike downhill to Urubamba for a laid-back evening.
Enjoy a lovely morning of riding along the shores of Lake Huaypo before making your way to Huarocondo. Spend some time exploring the town! You may want to try their local cuisine chicharonnes de Chancho (deep-fried pork). Follow a new road to Pacchar, and eventually, head back to Urubamba during the afternoon.
Prepare for one of the most memorable sightseeing days on the Biking Adventures in Cusco’s Sacred Valley! First, you’ll drive to the postcard-worthy Maras salt pans, which are still mined by hand. Don’t put your cameras away after admiring the terraced salt fields.
Next, you’ll bike through the Chinchero Plateau, where farmers’ fields contrast with snow-capped mountains. But that’s not all! Eventually, you’ll reach another highlight: Moray Inca ruins. Enjoy your ride through the Sacred Valley back to your hotel, where you can think back on the memories captured today.
Ditch your bikes and get ready for a day you’ll never forget! Begin your journey with a train ride to km104, where you’ll shake your legs out and start winding to the renowned World Heritage Site, passing by impressive ruins and scenery en route.
Stop for a picnic lunch at Wiñay Wayna, adorned with orchids and swallows. Soon the main event will emerge into view: Machu Picchu! Embark on a walking tour with your guide around these phenomenal Inca ruins before heading to the bus for your ride back. Please note that the Inca Trail is closed in February for repairs, but you can still visit Machu Picchu by taking the train to Aguas Calientes.
Today marks your last day of biking! Go off the beaten track and explore Lares Valley. Ride to the hot springs and take a quick, medicinal dip here and refuel with lunch before continuing. Take a short bus ride to Abra Lares before flying on an exhilarating downhill path!

I’ve been using 10A route guides for a while, but had never booked a tour. My wife and I booked a self-guided hike in Greece and were so impressed with how we were able navigate the route without a guide with the detailed and easy to follow itinerary. We enjoy travelling independently, and 10A made that happen.
Melinda S.
I was going through a tough time and really needed a getaway so I decided to book a tour through 10Adventures. My trip to Peru changed my life in so many positive and eye-opening ways. I am so thankful for the kind, empathetic team at 10Adventures.
Lina K.
I’ve adventured around a lot of Canada and the US, but I’ve always wanted to explore other parts of the world. I felt a bit scared before booking my trip to Israel, but my conversations with the team at 10Adventures helped ease any worry. I can’t wait to explore more of the world!
Gabriela H.
Travel companies have had to go through a lot during the pandemic but 10Adventures were super flexible and accommodating nonetheless. I had to cancel my tour in France due to the pandemic. 10Adventures was great and let me reschedule for a later date!

My wife Sarah and I had a great experience booking our 7-day cycling trip through Portugal via 10Adventures. The communication between us and Nadine leading up the trip was top-notch!

Communicating with 10Adventures feels like talking with a family-run business. I love to explore and travel, and exploring with the comfort of knowing I can talk to the team at 10Adventures with almost immediate feedback helps to ease any stress that comes with adventuring!

Whenever I’m looking for my next adventure 10Adventures never fails. Their routes all over England are my main go to for exploring and I have only had great experiences booking both guided and self-guided trips in Europe and South America with them. I am looking into Africa next.

I tend to have a lot of questions before travelling and was so happy to find that the team at 10Adventures responded to every single one of my inquiries in a timely fashion. I was never left waiting and waiting for a response. This was much appreciated!

I have horrible dietary issues making it super hard to book a pre-planned trip sometimes, but the communication through 10Adventures helped me navigate this situation! I am so grateful for all of their help. I cant wait to book with them again!
Erika S.
I just got back from backpacking in the Sierra Nevada, and WOW. What an unreal journey! The alpine meadows, waterfalls, and the lakeside camping spot were memorable highlights! I wonder what other tours 10Adventures has to offer. That one went so well that I am now convinced I need to book another!
Robert D.
I'm not a big fan of traveling because of my fear of flying, but my girlfriend convinced me to go on the Aurora Borealis Tour in the Yukon. I will never forget the mesmerizing northern lights. Such a romantic (and cold) getaway. I would highly recommend it.
Monica L.
Wow! I am so happy with the experience I had with booking through 10Adventures for my tour in Italy! I worked with Nadine and she was super easy-going and helpful when it came to tweaking the itinerary provided on the website. 10/10 would book through 10Adventures again.
