| We will be driven to Corao and arrive there approximately 9:45AM.
After unloading the bikes and performing a final safety check, we will embark on an ascent of approximately 450 metres, passing through Quechua farmland and villages, to reach the first pass of 4000 metres, after approximately 12 kilometres, giving you spectacular views of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. A short distance further from this pass will allow you more views of the valley including Pisac. From this vantage point you can also see the village of Patabamba, a few kilometres further on in our direction of travel. Approaching Patabamba we will gain some speed as we descend to about 3800 metres. We can take a lunch break here and may be able to see some of the best examples of Andean textiles being fabricated. After Patabamba we will pass through another Quechua village, named Quenco, from where we will start our second major ascent to 4200 metres into more amazing scenery before descending to pass through more villages and by Laguna Piuray and into Chinchero where we can visit the local Inca ruins before making our way to our Accommodation for the night. If this tour is started on a Saturday, then, after breakfast we can visit the famous Chinchero market which is open, on Sundays, between 9:00AM and Midday. After breakfast, or after visiting the Sunday market, we continue on to Urubamba following the route of the Andean Landscapes & Incan Laboratory Exploration tour. |
