PERU
Peru's classics.
Our pick of the 10 cycling tours worth booking in Peru, with the details that matter: what you see, how long you need, and what it costs.
Quad bike ride through Peru’s Sacred Valley, with Moray terraces and Maras salt mines viewpoints from Cusco. 6 hours, $39 value.
“Had a great time on this half-day tour! Our guide was funny, knowledgeable, and made the experience really enjoyable. Everything was well organized—we arrived at each spot before the crowds. Highly recommend!”
ATV through the Sacred Valley from Cusco to Moray and Maras salt mines. Safety training, mountain views, plus salt-chocolate tasting.
“We very much enjoyed it. It was an amazing way to see the countryside rather than being in a bus to the Moray and maracas salt mines. The quad bikes were very well maintained, semiautomatic which made them easy to ride. Highly recommend it for people and great guides.”
Ride Miraflores and Barranco by bike in Lima, stop at Huaca Pucllana, La Marina, Larcomar, and Puente de los Suspiros.
“Bikes were old and felt a little unsafe. The guide was nice but was not a proper tour guide with a lot of knowledge, he actually did say this isnt a proper tour it's more of a friendly bike ride. There was an altercation with a driver in traffic also. I wouldnt recommend this trip…”
A 3-hour small-group bike tour through Miraflores and Barranco in Lima, with safe coastal paths, art stops, and a sweet ice-cream break.
“Our guide Palo, was informative and entertaining. All 4 of us are 60yrs plus, it was mostly flat with a few inclines that did make me puff but that's okay. Well worth it, great value with lots of fun!”
3-hour bike tour in Lima: Miraflores coast, Barranco murals, and a climb to Cristo del Pacífico for 360° views. Small group.
“Great tour! Definitely do this if you have a morning spare. Beto & Kral are really friendly and professional. Kral guided us through the streets safely and explained the different areas we passed. The hill towards the end is hard work but well worth the views. Great way to see more of Lima. The gelato…”
Ride Miraflores to Barranco by bike for 3 hours with a local guide, free park stops, and classic ocean views for $29.
“We loved José! Great tour, perfect amount of time, lots of a interesting info that was easy to follow and engaging!”
Cusco Inca Jungle 4-day adventure: bike Abra Málaga, zipline, hike coffee and coca farms, raft rivers, then reach Machu Picchu.
“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…”
ATV quad bike tour from Cusco to Huaypo Lagoon and Maras salt mines, with training, Andes views, and guided stops in 6 hours.
“Lamentablemente es un servicio que podría ser muy bueno por las vistas, pero los guías y el chofer del trasporte hacen que se vuelva algo nefasto. No cumplen con lo que viene descrito, ni tampoco con lo que ellos mismos te van diciendo sobre el tour. -El chofer maneja de forma insegura -El tour terminó…”
Small-group bike tour through Lima’s Barranco, Miraflores, and San Isidro with bike, helmet, and water included for about 3–4 hours.
“Arriving at the location we couldn’t see any signs of a bike shop but our taxi driver was able to investigate the building and ensure we were in the right place! The bikes and helmets provided were fine and our guide Gonzales spoke good English having lived in London for some time. Our small group…”
Four hours by bike through Miraflores, San Isidro, and Barranco, with Huaca Pucllana, El Olivar Park, and a small snack.
“Prima tour, prima gids. Ik had graag gezien dat het meer informatief zou zijn. Over de geschiedenis, natuur, mensen, ontwikkeling etc.”
