If you have a free afternoon while in Cusco, there are some great single tracks in the hills above Cuzco – if you’re really good, there are advanced sections with loads of opportunities for jumps and tricks. We are not that good – well, I’m not anyway – so we stayed on the intermediate track which was still really fun with some nice scenery plus some rocky sections, some steep downhill stretches, and some small jumps. You’re generally transported to the top and bike down ending up back in Cusco, which makes this a suitable activity for one of your first days at altitude.
