We will pick you up from the hotel at 8:30 a.m. to explore the high part of Cusco, passing through the archaeological sites Sacsayhuaman, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay (We will have short stops to appreciate the archaeological sites a bit more).
Yunkaypata is located at an altitude of 3736 meters above sea level. The community, like many in Cusco, is dedicated to agriculture and the grazing of cows, sheep, and Andean animals (llamas, alpacas). Its main product is the cultivation of various varieties of potatoes.The town of Yunkaypata will be our starting point. Here, our guide will give us a brief safety talk, and safety equipment will be provided. We will ride along a road that was formerly used for logging, and thanks to the collaboration of many cyclists, it has now become a mountain bike circuit for beginners or for enjoying a good cycling tour with the family.
As we travel the trail, we will observe agricultural areas, houses still made of mud, and sections of eucalyptus trees. The temperature at that altitude is cool on sunny and cloudy days, a bit cold (approximately 15°C).
At a certain point in the route, we will reach an archaeological site called Kallachaka or Rumi Wasi, famous for its system of circular terraces and Inca channels that were used for rain containment and agriculture. We will continue downhill, taking us into a beautiful forest. The path becomes a bit more demanding, requiring a bit more effort as you descend.Depending on the group's skill level, our guide may modify the itinerary, making it longer and adding a higher level of difficulty to the route.
After completing the bike ride, we will head to Mariscal. It is a restaurant specializing in seafood, with ceviche being the main dish on its menu. Here, an expert chef will provide us with a private class on preparing Peruvian ceviche; you can taste your ceviche at the bar after the class. Finally, we will return you to your hotel.
