Cycling in Maras & Moray – Half-Day Adventure

📌 Summary description of the tour

Discover one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the Sacred Valley on this exciting cycling tour through Maras and Moray. Ride along ancient Andean trails surrounded by mountains, farmland, Quechua communities, and unique archaeological sites such as the circular terraces of Moray and the famous salt mines of Maras.

This experience is perfect for active travelers looking to combine culture, nature, and outdoor adventure in a single day. With expert guides and well-equipped mountain bikes, you’ll enjoy a safe, fun journey with unforgettable views in the heart of the Andes.

📅 Itinerary
Your adventure begins with pick-up from your hotel in Cusco or the Sacred Valley around 8:00 a.m. We’ll travel in a tourist vehicle to Cruzpata, the starting point of the cycling route, located at over 3,600 meters (11,800 ft) above sea level. After a safety briefing and basic riding instructions, we set off on two wheels.

We’ll first head to Moray, an ancient Inca agricultural research site with impressive circular terraces. After a guided tour and time for photos, we’ll continue along rural trails with stunning valley views until reaching Maras, a traditional Andean village with charming colonial architecture.

Finally, we descend to the famous Maras Salt Mines, thousands of pre-Inca salt pools still in use today. The total cycling time is approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. At the end of the tour, we return by vehicle to Cusco or the Sacred Valley, arriving around 2:00 p.m.
