Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1Arrival in Lima — ¡Bienvenidos! Welcome to Lima, Peru's largest city and central metropolitan hub, and home to one-third of the country's population. Located at the site of a pre-Columbian indigenous Ychsma settlement, which was conquered by the Inca empire in the 15th century and later by the Spanish conquistadores, Lima has a fascinating history and a diverse mix of cultures. Amerindian, European, Afro-Peruvian, and Asian—especially Chinese and Japanese—influences make Lima a dynamic and exciting city to explore.

Day 2Arrival in Cusco, Exploring the City — Head to the Lima airport for your transfer flight to Cusco. This ancient city is the former capital of the Inca empire, which reigned from the 13th to 16th centuries after conquering the Killke settlement on the same location.

Day 3Ride along the Sacred Valley to Pisac — Start biking leisurely down a dirt-paved path and single track to the charming village of Pisac, known as the gateway to the Sacred Valley. Explore the famous handicraft market in the central square before hitting the road again in the afternoon. For the rest of the day, continue biking through the fertile floodplains and flat expanse of the valley floor. At night, we will stop to camp by a spectacular set of little-known Inca ruins.

Day 4Bike into the Lares Valley — In the morning, we will drive up to Amparaes Pass before descending along a gravel road or single track and traversing into the Lares Valley. The trail will not be too challenging, starting off in the chilly, high-altitude, and rugged edges of the Sacred Valley and ending at a warm, lush river gorge after a day of cycling. Here, the ideal, scenic landscape surrounded by terraces and natural hot springs makes for a great place to camp. Enjoy a barbecue dinner and beer, unwind by soaking in the hot springs, and watch the night sky after a long day.
