Consequently, you will gain a deeper appreciation of the region’s cultural and historical value.

Downhill Mountain Biking Adventure

From Maras, we drive to the top of a nearby mountain where your downhill adventure begins. At this point, you will feel the thrill of cycling on your mountain bike through Andean trails as we descend toward the charming town of Huarocondo. Moreover, this picturesque place is known for its colonial church, traditional clothing, and welcoming atmosphere.

The excitement continues as you bike towards Zurite, home to the largest Inca terraces in the region.
