Cusco
Cusco, PeruOn the first day of our tour, we kick off with a pick-up at 6:20 AM, followed by a trip to Ollantaytambo.
This is where you’ll start the bike tour down the mountain. Your guide will give a quick, informational briefing and provide all riders with the appropriate safety gear, before the 3-hour mountain descent (about 34 miles or 55 km) to the town of Huamanmarca. From there, you’ll continue the journey by bus for approximately 30 minutes, until reaching the town of Santa Maria. Here, you can enjoy lunch, and spend the first night in a basic hostel.
During this part of the journey, you’ll experience the beauty of the snow-capped mountains and their fast-changing climate, from a dry cold to a humid heat. Upon arrival to Santa Maria, you’ll have the option to go rafting* (level III and IV, during April to November) in the Urubamba River, which crosses through part of the jungle. The rafting price (100 Soles) is not included in the tour.3 hours • Admission Ticket FreeView Location2

The rafting session lasts approximately 1.5 hours, with a comprehensive safety briefing led by our experienced guides beforehand. The river's difficulty level varies with the season, ranging from level 2–3 in the dry season to levels 4–5 in the rainy season. Our guides will carefully assess the conditions before we set off.
