We leave Cusco at 8:00 am towards the Sacred Valley towards the Lamay sector; from Lamay, we ascend the Andes until we reach the Lamay Pass, 4,350 meters (14,271 feet), to begin the experience of the first descent on a bicycle.
We will experience an epic off-road bike adventure: an incredible descent down ancient Andean trails to the bottom of the Sacred Valley to the village of Lamay, 2900 meters (9514 feet). We travel from Lamay to the outskirts of Cusco for the last adventure of descending the mountains.
This fantastic day of cycling ends with a super fun second technical descent through the valley until reaching San Sebastián through the Corao Pass, known as the Yuncaypata downhill bicycle circuit. We load our Kondor bikes to return to Cusco. Thank you for traveling with Kondor Path Tours.
