Peru - Andes, Amazon & Machu Picchu
N
o other country in Latin America offers the same depth of attractions both physical and cultural than Peru. This spectacular trip appeals to those looking for great biking, amazing culture, stunning scenery, wildlife and one of the wonders of the world. Our spectacular and diverse itinerary takes us through Peru's beautiful and verdant Sacred Valley to the incredible Amazon rainforest, and finishes with the Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu; an ancient Inca citadel in an awesome mountaintop location and a place that needs no introduction! Biking here in the rarefied air of the high Andes around the Inca capital Cusco is a largely downhill affair. Whilst not technically challenging, these exhilarating rides on dirt roads and tracks are through some of the world's most dramatic landscapes and ensures one of the most exciting biking itineraries in South America. For thrill-seekers and mellow peddlers alike this tour is a must. In the Sacred Valley we cycle past ancient Inca ruins and visit the artisan market of Pisac, before climbing high into the Andes, to witness a spectacular sunrise over the Amazon Basin. Next we embark on a fantastic downhill, through pristine cloudforest and on into deep jungle. Here we stay in a picturesque jungle lodge where we can explore its trails in search of rare wildlife. Returning to Cusco, we will have a day to relax before embarking on the four-day Inca Trail. We hike along an incredibly well preserved Inca path, through awesome Andean scenery, camping in spectacular locations and arriving on foot at the majestic ruins of Machu Picchu. Due to limitations on Inca Trail permits, we advise you to book early for this trip!
