Biking

 

Mountain biking in the Cusco region is a great alternative way to see the area and gives you the opportunity to get off the well-trodden tourist trail and feel the wind in your hair!!!! On a bike you can also pass through little-visited local Andean communities routes and travel on other tracks out of the reach of motorized vehicles. Whether you just want to experience the tranquility and beauty of the countryside or you want an exhilarating, adventure trip, then biking is for you!
