The Mountain Biking In Cusco Maras-Moray in the Sacred Valley of the Incas is an exciting experience that combines adventure, history and breathtaking scenery. Beginning in the picturesque village of Maras, known for its ancient Maras Salt Flats, cyclists gear up and set off for Moray.

This impressive archaeological site is home to circular amphitheater-shaped agricultural terraces, used by the Incas to experiment with different crops due to its varied microclimates. The bike tour winds through rural roads, offering spectacular views of the agricultural fields and towering Andean mountains.
