“Available with regular bikes and e-bikes tour”
We’ll pass by the Moray viewpoint, one of the incredible archaeological sites, built by circular rings. The Inca culture built this site for agricultural climate experimentation, planting crops that did not grow in this dry climate zone.
We’ll also bike to the Maras Salineras, one of the natural wonders known as the salt mines. It consists of an immense number of wells or small pools where salt is formed, fed only by a single water source that springs from within the Qaqawiñay mountain, which is also distributed to all the wells.
Tour Itinerary
Our Sacred Valley bike tour begins in the Cheq’erek community. Here, we’ll grab our bikes, helmets, and gloves, and begin our ride on a dirt road, climbing and descending through agricultural valleys and offering a panoramic view of Laguna Huaypo.
Our second stop will be at the Misminay Viewpoint. From this point, we’ll have a wonderful view of the Inca archaeological site of Moray; to reach it, we’ll have a 300-meter elevation gain.
After reaching the highest mountain on the Sacred Valley route, we’ll follow small, fun single trails heading to the town of Maras and continuing downhill to the same attraction, Salineras.
Note: The trails or short paths are intermediate and not technical. You can also choose not to ride these paths and instead take the wide road to better suit your skill level.
I invite you to experience a unique bike tour through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, designed for cyclists worldwide.

From the moment I met Daniel at the Buho Tours office, I knew I could trust him. He organized a personalized tour for our family of four, and everything was perfectly planned and exactly as agreed. The price was fair and reasonable. What really stood out was the quality of the equipment. The bikes, helmets, and gloves were all in excellent condition and of very high quality. We felt safe throughout the entire trip. I highly recommend this company to anyone visiting the Cusco region who wants to have an unforgettable adventure. The tour was absolutely amazing! Wojtek and family from PolandPublicado en Google Shomita MandalTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Daniel was extremely helpful and helping us arrange a last-minute biking trip in the sacred Valley where we were staying. The trail was fun but just a warning it is bumpy. My boys were looking for something a little bit harder, and at one point he gave us the option and since I haven’t biked in a long time we took, the slightly easier route, but more difficult routes are available. The views were amazing and the other Daniel who was our guide was very knowledgeable and extremely nice. We highly recommend this companyVerificado por: TrustindexLa insignia verificada de Trustindex es el símbolo universal de confianza.
