Cusco to Abra Malaga and Santa Maria by Bike
We'll begin our adventure to Machu Picchu with pickup from your hotel in Cusco or Ollantaytambo, then head to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Here, we'll make a short stop to enjoy breakfast before continuing to Abra Malaga at 4,316 m / 14,160 ft. This is the spot where we begin our cycling adventure, and your guide will provide the biking gear and a safety briefing.
Then we descend around 42 km / 26 miles. Along the route, you'll enjoy seeing how the climate changes from the misty mountains to the rainforest area. After some stops during the descent, we'll arrive at Huamanmarca. From here, we continue our journey by bus to Santa Maria at 1,200 m / 3,937 ft, where we'll have lunch.
In the afternoon, you have the option to go white-water rafting, an exciting activity where you'll have fun on the river with Class II-III-III+ rapids. Then you'll return to town, where we have a lodge for the first night.
