Full Day – Maras & Moray Biking Tour
Easy
These activities are a walk in the park! You will be able to enjoy the scenery, history, and time with loved ones without exhausting yourself. You do not need any special training, gear, or acclimatization for an “Easy” trek or tour. Terrain will be generally flat and comfortable, highly traveled.
Mild
A step up from “Easy,” these tours require a little more physical effort but are still 100% manageable to anyone with or without adventure experience. Again, you do not need special training, gear, or acclimatization for a “Mild” trek or tour. Terrain is generally flat but with possible gentle up- and downhills.
Moderate
Before embarking on a “Moderate” trek or tour, you should be at least partly acclimatized to the high altitude of the Andes as it affects your oxygenation, energy levels, and hydration. These tours are still very manageable without special training as long as you have spent a day or two at high altitude. Terrain often includes moderate up- and downhill walking with possible rough patches or infrequently-traveled sections.
Challenging
“Challenging” treks or tours require that you are acclimated to the Andes’ high altitude before leaving as it affects your oxygenation, energy levels, and hydration. Spending 2-3 days or more at high altitude will help you on the trek. You will need hiking shoes and possibly trekking poles for these treks. You will need to be in good physical shape, and it’s recommended that you train at least some beforehand, possibly with running, biking, or strenuous workout videos. Terrain is often rough, sometimes with steep up- and downhills and often not highly traveled. Generally, these last several hours.
Formidable
These “Formidable” treks are our most difficult treks and require serious effort but are also the most rewarding. It is necessary to be in pristine physical condition. Again, you must be acclimated to the Andes’ high altitude before leaving as it affects your oxygenation, energy levels, and hydration. Spending 4-5 days or more if possible at high altitude will help you on the trek. You will need hiking shoes and possibly trekking poles for these treks. It is important to train physically before these treks so that your body is prepared for the strenuous nature of the trip. Generally, these last at least an entire day in infrequently-traveled areas with rough paths.
This Full Day – Maras & Moray Biking Tour is a tour for all people who like cross-country cycling, being a sport which requires effort and physical resistance. You can enjoy the view of the beautiful Andean landscapes along the bicycle route, such as snow-capped mountains, lagoons such as the Huaypo lagoon and observe the local inhabitants working their lands. You will learn and know the culture of the people of the Sacred Valley and nearby towns. In this wonderful journey, we will visit the archaeological site of Moray, which is a kind of amphitheater, made up of several circular platforms. Then, we will arrive to Maras and visit “las Salineras” which has 3,000 pools of salt which were important in the pre-Inca, Inca and colonial times, and it is still used until now.
To begin, we will start by picking you up from your hotel at 08:00 a.m. Departing from Cusco to Cruzpata, the trip will last 50 minutes to the Sacred Valley passing through Chinchero. Once we arrive to Cruzpata, we will leave with the bicycles through the different Andean landscapes, descending through crops of potato, quinoa, olluco, wheat, etc. We will cross the Huaypo lagoon and then arrive at the archaeological center of Moray, take a break and enjoy our lunchbox. After this, we will go to the village of Maras and descend to the salt mines where we will see how the salt is extracted from a traditional way since ancient times. Finally, we will arrive at the Pichingoto Bridge in the Sacred Valley, our car will be waiting to take us to Urubamba where we will have lunch and conclude with the return to Cusco.
