Sacred Valley Cycle & Trek
11 days - from $2540
Cycle the beautiful Sacred Valley and then trek to stunning Machu Picchu
This is a fantastic way to journey through Peru. Having explored Lima and the old Inca city of Cusco we enjoy an easy two-day bicycle ride down into the beautiful Sacred Valley. Along the way we stop at numerous Inca sites before reaching the valley floor, where we discover the colourful market town of Pisac and the fortress village of Ollantaytambo. We then hop off our bikes and start our camping hike along old Inca trails, which take us high into the mountains and on to the ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. At the end of our adventure we enjoy some time to relax in Cusco before returning to Lima. This is Peru at its most amazing!
