About this experience
Discover a new way to travel to one of the wonders of the modern world, Machu Picchu. We will start our trip descending by bike from the Yanamayo pass, a place that will allow us to observe the Andean landscape of Cusco and we will arrive to Ocobamba, a tropical and warm area.
On day 2 we will continue our journey by bicycle through the lower jungle of Cusco from the town of Cochapampa to the hot springs of Coclamayo, where we will relax the body in its medicinal waters and observe the agriculture of the people of Quillabamba as we descend by bicycle.
Day 3, we will walk from the hydroelectric plant to Aguas Calientes through a trail near the Vilcanota river and full of amazing landscapes bordering the lower part of the Huayna Picchu mountain.
On day 4, we will finally get to know Machu Picchu and discover its history and the mysteries that it still hides to this day in a 3 hour tour. We will return to Cusco on a magnificent train ride.
