Experiences from Our Passengers on the South Valley Bike Tour

Discover Gabriela’s biking experience through the South Valley

I took the bike tour through Cusco’s South Valley, and it was a different experience from the very beginning. Everything was well coordinated, from the transportation to the instructions provided before starting the ride. As we cycled along, I enjoyed the Andean landscapes at my own pace, with time to take in the surroundings and discover a different side of Cusco.

The team paid attention to every detail, and the guide accompanied me with great kindness and shared his knowledge throughout the tour. The organization also allowed me to enjoy the ride with complete peace of mind. Without a doubt, I would recommend this tour.
