Mountain Biking in Cusco, Peru - Single Track Heaven


If you like mountain biking which features sublime single track, step jumps and lightning fast descents, this Peru MTB adventure holiday is a must for you.

From Cusco, we cycle into the Inca heartlands to explore the best off road bike tracks in the region.

If you can’t take your own bike, we can provide a range of Konas which will ensure you get the most from the jumps, turns and trials which lie ahead.

The classic routes are included as well as many that only select local mountain bike enthusiasts know about.


All the best routes

We start at a relatively low altitude level in the Sacred Valley, to help you acclimatise. As the days progress, the routes get more extreme, and the mountains - and therefore the descent - bigger.

No mountain bike trip to Peru is complete without the Mega Avalanche race route, which sees you swooping down more than 1,500m of track, Inca Trail and road. You can try to beat the race times or take it more slowly on this testing route.

You can take a break from the adrenaline with a visit the ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu too if you wish, although this has to be on foot!

We aim to end the trip on a huge high with some of the best single track riding in Peru, as we dart about Cusco and its surrounding Inca ruins.

We also have many other great biking trips in Peru.

If you want to get right off the beaten track and cycle from Lake Titicaca to Cusco, check out our Back Road of the Andes trip, or our longer Mountain Bike of Peru trip.
