Trip Information

Peru is, without a doubt, one of the ultimate mountain biking destinations in the world. After years of exploring on our bikes in and around Cuzco and the Sacred Valley of the Incas, we have put together what is surely the definitive singletrack mountain bike trip in Peru, with a fantastic opportunity to take in the ruins of Machu Picchu!

The riding in Peru is unique and challenging. There will be traverses on narrow singletrack, descents on rocky trails and remote trails through spectacular wilderness areas. Some of the routes explore genuine incan-built trails connecting abandoned ruins in high mountains. While the altitude and terrain dictate that we focus on some of the most spectacular descents you can imagine, we have designed this trip with experienced mountain bikers from all genres in mind. Cross-country riders will relish the remote mountain singletrack and enduro riders will be stunned by the challenging technical descents.

Every day there’s another exciting challenge, whether it’s an optional climb to a 14,000ft pass or a 16 mile singletrack descent of a vertical over half a mile, you’ll not be disappointed. The Andes serve up mile after mile of switchbacks, rocky paths, epic descents and equally ambitious cross country routes.

You’ll hone your riding technique on original Inca trails, dodge llamas and alpacas and enjoy the amazing nightlife of Cuzco, almost as extreme as the trails themselves! During the trip, our Peruvian guides, mechanics, drivers and support staff will delight in instructing you in the finer art of Andean biking and make sure your bike is always in tip-top condition.

Not only are our guides expert riders, but they’ll be able to tell you all about the history and culture of the area, and also have an in-depth knowledge of all the best restaurants and nightlife spots to make your holiday a real blast. With miles of pristine and largely downhill trails just waiting to be explored, our trip zig-zags across the Inca Empire, ending with an optional visit to the incredible ruins of Machu Picchu.

During the rides we discover local markets and get truly off the beaten track to explore rarely visited Inca ruins on the most mind-blowingly brilliant trails. Every night we stay in a mix of delightful hotels and lodges which we use as a base for several days at a time, meaning you can unpack and relax in between days on your bike. So hot showers and delicious food every day and a few cheeky chilled cusquenas after the rides too!

Trip Feedback

This was an amazing trip and we had an incredible time

If you‘re looking for a physically arduous MTB trip, this is not the trip for you. You’ll be disappointed by the lack of peddling. If you‘re looking for a trip to really challenge your technical skills and improve your comfort level on extreme terrain, then this is the trip for you. This ain’t no baby riding!

JC was a very skilled rider and conscientious guide. He was always concerned about the welfare of the group and was extremely personable, funny, and kind.

Two weeks in Peru is just enough to take in the Sacred Valley’s Inca ruins, sample the Amazon rainforest and rarefied biking (largely downhill) in the high Andes around Cusco; and trek the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.

Fantastic trip!

Very challenging riding, but thats exactly what I wanted. I’ll be returning to Peru with my mountain bike again sometime for sure.

J.C went the extra mile. We were all very well looked after. He took extra care of everyones bikes as well, cleaning and checking them every day and fixing any problems that arose. Exceptionally knowledgable on both mountain biking and the local area, he was a first class guide and made the trip awesome!

I hate feedback forms but...

Here’s a note to say thanks for another superb trip. Enjoyed the riding, socialising and cultural aspects of the holiday especially Andrew in the market haggling – what he is going to do with 12 Peruvian hats and a llama I dread to think.

Best off road trails I've ever done...

Without doubt the best off road trails I have ever done – even blew the socks of Canada and that’s saying something! Accommodation and food was great too and the nightlife in Cusco is superb, pity my dancing is a bit rubbish!

Hard to pick a fault...

Another amazing trip. It is great to see a biking company running trips in places that offer both great technical riding in a totally different part of the world. Here’s to the next Skedaddle holiday!

Magical...

Very difficult to pick a favourite day. The single track downhill was excellent. The other was starting out from really high up above the clouds and descending for ages before relaxing in a natural hot spring. Magical.

The Kona was the perfect hire bike for this terrain, it soaked up the bumps nicely and it was quite stable when jumping, lots of jumps.

The “Sacred Singletrack” tour of Peru would be an Instagrammer’s dream if you weren’t cycling too hard to stop and snap. If you collide with a llama while choosing a filter you’ve only got yourself to blame.
