At 7:00 a.m., we will leave Cusco and head to the Sacred Valley of the Incas, where a buffet breakfast will be served. Our biking tour will begin at Abra Malaga (4,350 masl or 14,160 feet), after a brief orientation and preparation of the equipment provided by your guide.

The 3-hour (9.55 km or 5.93 miles) downhill bike ride will take us through the scenic route of snow-capped mountains and tropical forests until we reach the village of Huamanmarca.

At this point, we will transition into our adventure in the Peruvian Amazon, crossing small streams and experiencing the change from cold to tropical climate. There will be stops to check the bike and equipment along the way.

Today is the most significant day of the tour, as you will visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World. To appreciate the sunrise at the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, the excursion starts early in the morning.

You can choose to walk or take the bus ($12) to the entrance of the archaeological site. Once inside, you will have a two-hour guided tour of the most important temples of the Inca city of Machu Picchu, such as the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Three Windows.

After the guided tour, you will have free time to explore Machu Picchu on your own. If you have booked in advance, you can choose to climb Huayna Picchu Mountain (2,800 meters/9,186.35 feet) or Machu Picchu Mountain (3,082 meters/10,111.55 feet) for an additional cost of 20 USD. However, please note that space is limited to only 400 people per day for the hike to Huayna Picchu Mountain, so it is recommended to make reservations three months in advance.

It is also recommended to take some time to relax, meditate and enjoy the magical and spiritual energies of this extraordinary place.

Once you have finished exploring Machu Picchu, you will return to Aguas Calientes to take the train back to Ollantaytambo and Cusco.
