Itinerary and highlights
FIRST STAGE - LARES 15.2 KM
To start our adventure, a car will pick you up from your hotel around 8:00 am. We will drive towards the Sacred Valley, to the town of Calca and then head towards the Lares Valley. The drive takes approximately 2:30 hours to the top of the mountain where we will begin our descent.
Once at the summit, our guide will instruct you about the route and provide you with protective gear. After the safety talk, you'll have the option to start on a sandy drop with a good incline (Freeride). If you feel confident in your technique, you can choose to ride this stage, otherwise, there's an option to take an easier section.
We'll ride through terrain with high speeds and obstacles like water channels, some stair sections, and good curves, which will lead us back to the town of Calca. We'll make some detours off the vehicular track before rejoining the trail. In Calca, we'll enjoy our Box lunch and then continue with the new trail.
SECOND STAGE - ANKASMARKA 5 KM
After finishing with Lares, we will head back up the same road to the archaeological site of Ankasmarka, known for its pre-Incan and Incan food containers and reservoirs. We'll ride around these containers and then descend stairs to the town of Calca.
Along the way, we'll encounter fluid sections and slopes that add to the fun of your experience, plus a zone of curves that will test your biking technique. We'll reach the community of Totora and from there descend on the car track, cutting through trails until we reach the town of Calca, concluding our enduro adventure in the Lares Valley. We'll return to Cusco around 3 in the afternoon.
