A great bike adventure in Macchu Picchu
There are many ways to get to Machu Picchu, something for all budgets and tastes. We chose a 4-day trek that includes many activities. The first sports activity takes place on the 1st day and is made up in a fall from a mountain bike by the village of Ollantaytambo. This is a scheduled activity that starts in Cuzco. From there you take a van up the mountain, passing by Ollantaytambo. It is about 4200 meters high and from there you go down by bike for 4 or 5 hours. The descent is 3000 meters and is on a paved road. The views are incredible and it is impossible to stop taking pictures in no time.
This activity is lovely and not too hard, since everything is downhill and is halfway stop for lunch. The single most difficult stretch is the last, but optional, whoever wants can go on the bike on a road of sand and stones rather more complicated to get you to the goal, a small town located about 1,000 meters. Security is quite big because the last person is behind a van in case someone needs to stop or click any bike.
