Itinerary: Mountain Biking Moray

Day 1: Moray & Salt mine

Today’s fat tire adventure is an absolutely thrilling day of single and double track riding in the Andean Highlands.

We carve along a mountainous trail, zigzagging past colonial haciendas where farmers are frequently seen herding their livestock. From there we descend for 45 minutes through the town of Maras to the Salt Mines. These salt mines have captured salt water from a natural spring before pre-Inca times and then to start again a downhill of 40 minutes approx. To the Sacred Valley (pichingoto, tarabamba), where the end point of our magnificent bike tour is. We return to Cusco at approx. 4:30pm.
