Sillustani Ancient Burial Towers
MARAS MORAY FULL DAY
A one day mountain biking trip near Cuzco. Cycling through the Andes, to the town of Maras and the experimental terraces of Moray. Moray was used by the Incas as a sort of open-air crop nursery, know locally as the laboratory of the Incas.
Suitable for beginners and up. We travel around 35km on dirt roads and single track, passing through small villages. With fantastic views of the valley and the hummingbirds flying around, the abundance of butterflies you are reconnected with nature. Lunch at Moray with a visit to the salt mines of Salineras. The perfect excursion for a free day.
