If you only have a half day for biking we recommend a Cusco half day mountain bike ride. The day consists of 3-4 hours of riding and shuttling local Cusco trails. The trails are fun and fast and you will see other local Cusco riders showing off their skills. If you have a full day check out South Valley and Sacred Valley for an epic full day of riding. Some of the possible 1/2 day rides are:
HUAYARCOCHA
YUNCAYPATA
OCCOPATA
SALKANTAY PUEBLO

Huayarcocha
A quick shred on this trail is perfect to get started and gain your confidence while doing the Cusco Half Day Mountain Bike Ride. We generally start with this trail on our half day biking tour. With loads of wide open sections, you can pick where you want to ride. You will get warmed up with a short rocky section and some small jumps followed by tight single track on the edge of the mountain and a steep end to the trail before the last part, urban downhill. Here you get a taste for South America urban rides with dogs and stairs.
Yuncaypata
This sweet track has a bit of everything. It starts off loose with rocky steps and opens up with some small jumps. Ride though a small Andean pueblo before you hit some more small jumps. Now come some steeps after a small eucalyptus forest and on to a section with some bigger gap jumps. Hit some tight curves before you come out into Cusco and shuttle back up for the next ride.
Occopata
Occopata is a fluid single track made up of a stable rock mixed with stairs, perfect for our half day rides. We can pedal from the house to the top and descend back down to Cusco or go up with transport and ride it a few times. Occopata is a wide rocky trail with a lot of options to choose your line. Short and sweet take advantage of Cusco Peru Mountain Biking.
