Pumamarca bike tour, the best Sacred trails

The Pumamarca route is nestled in the Andes of the Sacred Valley, right in the Inca town of Ollantaytambo. If you find yourself here, don’t miss out on this incredible mountain bike tour, where you can bike through the same streets once traversed by the Incas. Read more

The trail is super fun, featuring smooth sections, curves, rocky spots, and semi-vertical parts.

To kick off this adventure, we’ll hop into our private vehicle. We can pick you up from any hotel in the Sacred Valley or you can start from the city of Cusco.

The downhill ride can take anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes, depending a lot on your biking skills. We always go at a pace that suits your physical condition and technique.

This tour also connects with the Patacancha route. If you’re up for it and feel confident in your skills, we highly recommend doing both sections, totaling 30 km of exciting biking.

As part of this bike tour, we’ll explore the ancient Inca ruins of Pumamarca. We’ll share some fascinating history about this site during the Inca era. Today, we’ll be riding along the same ancestral path leading to the ruins of Ollantaytambo, crossing beautiful terraces that were once used for growing potatoes, corn, and more.
