Ride Lima’s Miraflores and Barranco with Huaca Pucllana. Pacific views, Eiffel lighthouse, bohemian streets, small group, bike included.
“Bikes were a little old and not in the best shape. Our guide was 20 minutes late and then proceeded to take another 20 minutes bringing the bikes out. Our tour was to include a complimentary bottle of water - which we didn’t receive. We were encouraged to have an espresso while we were waiting - I thought this would be complimentary since our tour was so late getting started instead I was charged 5 soles for a cold cup of expresso. Overall Manny was a decent guide and his English was very good. Unfortunately out of the group of 7 - 3 of them were not experienced bike riders…”

Cycle Miraflores, Barranco, and Chorrillos on comfy bikes or a Segway, then climb El Morro for 360 views of Cristo del Pacífico.
“Great tour. Get away from the traffic whilst still seeing the city. Much better than sitting in a traffic jam on a cramped minivan. The bikes were of a fantastic standard and safety helmets provided. Nice stop after Jesus hill for cold drinks. Kral the guide gave a nice amount of information and made any road crossings super safe. I’m not a bike rider but made it round the route OK apart from pushing up Jesus hill.”

4 days of biking, rafting, zipline, and rainforest hikes from Cusco to Machu Picchu, ending with guided citadel access.
“Really enjoyed the Adventure Hike, lots of pros with only a few cons, see below breakdown of the 4 days (I travelled early June 2024), some tips and a packing list of what to take. Day 1, Bike and Raft: Bike was great fun, very easy/beginner friendly as mostly downhill but get to pick up some speed while catching the views. Rafting was excellent with a few decent rapids. Accommodation was terrible, very basic shared hostel with only cold water shower (not ideal after rafting), food was average but didn't go hungry. Day 2, Hike: I'd class myself intermediate hiker and I found it pretty easy, there's a few hills…”
A 6-hour Sacred Valley ATV ride to Huaypoo Lagoon and Maras salt mines, with training in Cruz Pata and Cusco pickup.
“Overall is a good value for the money. The stop at the lagoon is basically a toilet stop for an additional 5 soles: a waste of time before arriving back to base in 5 minutes after that. Maras is a second part, on a bus again. Cool place.”
