This is one of the best and most enjoyable sections of downhill cruise biking to be found anywhere in the Sacred Valley.
We start off from the top of the high pass of Lares ( elev.: 4490 meters -14,730 feet ) and cruise all the way downhill to the town of Calca. Sections of this downhill route contain spectacular views of the Urubamba Mountain Range.
Option: We can return to Cusco on the same day, or spend the night in a hotel in the Sacred Valley and go on to enjoy another mountain biking adventure the following day.
