Your day begins with an 8:00 a.m. hotel pickup in Cusco (11,152 ft / 3,399 m), leaving the city behind as you head out on a scenic 90-minute drive into the heart of the South Valley. This is where the adventure truly starts — where you’ll meet your ride for the day: the reliable and high-performance TREK Marlin 7, ready to take on the Andes.
Once everything is set, you’ll roll out onto a beautiful packed-earth trail, surrounded by wide-open landscapes and fresh mountain air. The South Valley feels different — quieter, more authentic, and far from the usual tourist routes. Along the way, you’ll ride through traditional Andean communities like Churubamba and Seccencalle, offering a genuine glimpse into local life.
One of the highlights? Riding through a majestic eucalyptus forest, where the scent of the trees fills the air and the scenery feels almost unreal — the perfect place to pause, breathe, and capture unforgettable photos.
After an energizing ride, it’s time to slow down and explore the charming village of Andahuaylillas (10,243 ft / 3,122 m). Here, you’ll visit the iconic Chapel of San Pedro Apóstol of Andahuaylillas, a 16th-century masterpiece famously known as the “Sistine Chapel of America.” Step inside and discover stunning murals, intricate gold details, and centuries of history that make this place truly unforgettable.
To wrap up the experience, you’ll relax on the return journey to Cusco, arriving at your hotel around 5:00 p.m. — tired, refreshed, and filled with the kind of memories that only a real adventure can offer.
