The e-bike tour visits the most popular and important archaeological sites around the city of Cusco.

Our vehicle will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at around 8:00 a.m. and transfer you to Saphi. After the guide’s briefing, we will take our bikes and continue the tour by pedaling along a road that leads to the first archaeological site: Sacsayhuamán, a ceremonial center built with colossal stones. We will have an approximately 30-minute walk inside the Sacsayhuamán archaeological complex.

After completing our visit, we will get back on our bikes. We will then ride for 45 minutes along a paved road, surrounded by landscapes and communities dedicated to agriculture, textile sales, and handicrafts. After 45 minutes of cycling, we will arrive at Tambomachay, a center of worship and water veneration. Its hydraulic channels show great engineering skill. We will spend approximately 30 minutes visiting Tambomachay.

Across from this complex is Puca Pucara, an ancient Inca control and surveillance post, which we will visit briefly.

After visiting Puca Pucara, we will continue by bike until we reach the archaeological site of Q’enqo, where you will learn about its ceremonial importance related to rituals and offerings. You may enter its underground galleries or, if preferred, visit the eucalyptus forest, an ideal place for taking photographs.

After this visit, we will begin the return by bike along the same route. Before reaching the end of the tour, we will make a brief stop at the San Cristóbal viewpoint, where we will enjoy a view of the city of Cusco. Then, we will continue biking to the Main Square, where we will leave the bikes and take you back to your hotel in Cusco, ending our adventure tour at approximately 1:00 p.m.

Experiences from Our Travelers on the Cusco Bike Tour

Indira and her electric bike tour through Cusco

I took a four-hour electric bike tour through Cusco, and it was a different way to discover the city. From the beginning, the organization and instructions were very clear, which allowed me to start the tour feeling relaxed and confident. Little by little, I made my way through different areas of Cusco while enjoying the scenery. The electric bike assistance made the ride much more comfortable and allowed me to focus on everything the guide was explaining.

Throughout the experience, the team at CuscoPeru.com was attentive and took care of every detail of the tour. I especially appreciated their punctuality, organization, and the warmth with which they accompanied me. It was four hours filled with great moments and a very special way to discover Cusco from a different perspective. I take home a wonderful memory of this adventure and thank the entire team for making the experience so enjoyable.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Electric Bike Tour in Cusco

Find answers to the most common questions about schedules, difficulty, the route, how the electric bikes work, entrance fees to archaeological sites, safety equipment, and recommendations for taking the electric bike tour in Cusco.

Do I need mountain biking experience to take the tour?

You do not need to be an expert cyclist, but you should feel comfortable riding a bicycle and be confident braking, turning, and riding on sections with slopes. Before starting, the guide will provide instructions on how to use the electric bike and explain the safety measures for the route.

What bikes are used during the tour?

The tour uses Santa Cruz Heckler electric mountain bikes, designed for mountain routes and equipped with electric pedal assistance. This assistance is especially helpful on uphill sections and allows you to complete the route with less effort than on a conventional bicycle, making them well suited to this type of MTB Cusco route.

Does the electric bike pedal by itself?

No. The bike provides assistance while you pedal, but you remain in control of the pace, gears, brakes, and steering. You can adjust the level of assistance depending on the terrain and how much effort you want to make.

Does Cusco’s altitude affect the bike ride?

The route takes place at high altitude, so travelers who have recently arrived in Cusco may find physical activity more demanding than usual. We recommend arriving in the city beforehand, getting some rest, and taking the tour once you feel comfortable with the altitude.

What safety equipment is provided during the tour?

The service includes a helmet, gloves, and knee pads, as well as the electric bike. The ride is also accompanied by a guide specialized in cycling, and a first-aid kit is available throughout the tour.

What should I bring for the electric bike tour?

We recommend wearing comfortable sportswear, shoes with good support, sunscreen, sunglasses, and carrying water and a light backpack. During the rainy season, it is also important to bring a poncho or waterproof jacket.
