We provide world class, well maintained and functioning bikes for all our full day rides: shredding Cusco up, Machupicchu multisport and rainbow MTB expedition. We please ask you to look after the bikes. If a bike gets damaged during the ride, the guide will make adequate repairs to keep riding. If it is irreparably damaged during the ride, we will give you another bike after responsibility of the damage is assumed.
Before renting and riding the bikes, we require riders to sign an equipment release form, in order to assume ride related damages to the bikes.

For the rest of our multiday MTB and expedition MTB rides, all riders are expected to bring and ride their own bikes. We suggest to bring a reliable fully enduro style bike with at least 160 mm front suspension travel, dropper post, tubeless tire set up resistance to punctures.

Since we will be riding in the most inhospitable places around the Andes where it is impossible to find a bike shop, and keeping in mind that the selection of replacement parts is limited even in bike shops in Cusco and Lima, we suggest each rider to bring the following list of spare items:
A spare tire

FAQS
SAFETY AND ALTITUDE
Cusco is a very beautiful city located in the Majestic Andes at 3400 m 11200 ft of elevation, surrounded by big mountains and huge glaciers over 6000 m which are full of MTB trails that we will ride through during our MTB TOURS. Some of our rides starts at elevations of up to 4400 m, so we will be riding in high altitude most of the time. For safety reasons, we always carry a first aid kit that includes an oxygen tank.
Will altitude make a difference while riding?
Yes, altitude will always make a difference even if you are walking up the stairs for the very first time in high cities such as Cusco. Most people and riders are not accustomed to riding in such high-altitude areas. Everyone is different and reacts differently, and so it all depends on how your body reacts and how fit you are. We suggest one or two days of low activity levels so that your body can acclimatize, which will allow you to enjoy every riding day thereafter.
We will also provide good advice to help you handle the altitude better.
Should I have an insurance if so what type?
Yes, each rider should have and bring information about their own travel medical insurance, which is something KINTI CUSCO BIKING requests in order to ride safe and sound.
There are many providers of insurance that covers hospitalization in case of accident while participating in adventure sports. Many providers require additional information for adventure sports such as MOUNTAIN BIKING.
So, individuals should add this to their medical coverage and it is very important to have. We suggest you take a look at this insurer (http://www.mtbinsuranceuk.com)
You should also have the travel insurance which covers unexpected situations as loss of items, stolen things, illness, delays, cancellations or other events that might change your travel plans. There are several providers of this type of insurance and we suggest to have this as well.
What is the procedure if someone suffers an injury or accident?
We understand that MOUNTAIN BIKING is something amazing to do and the cool people who practice this great sport are aware of the high risk that is involved while riding bikes in the mountains. So, we trust that each rider knows and respects his or her own limits in order to have an amazing and safe MTB riding days with friends.
As always, KINTI CUSCO BIKING’S guides are well trained and get certified every year by the Red Cross in order to respond immediately to minor or major injury while riding in the mountains. They are always well equipped with two radios for better communication, a first aid kit, and a great plan with local clinics to evacuate if necessary.
If you will be joining any of our MTB TOURS, you are expected to sign a medical release form before any ride. This document waives all claims that someone might have against KINTI CUSCO BIKING.

Day 10: Cusco - Lares MTBing - Lamay
Our adventure is almost over and today we will ride two trails that we decided to save for the end. After one hour in transport we arrive at the LARES MTBing pass located at 4460 m 14,720 ft. But we want to go higher, so we have to push our bikes until we reach the top of the Andes. With the little breath that we have left, we will conquer the summit. Here, we will be rewarded by observing the majestic mountains around us, allowing us to stop for a moment to reflect on all the adventures that we lived in the past days as they become beautiful memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We hold our breath and all we have to do is enjoy these endless descents to the maximum. Every sacrifice has a reward and it is just beginning, we start the ride through a sandy and sloping terrain and then connect to a thousand-year-old Incan road in which we can release the breaks and enjoy the speed to its maximum level. Just hold the handlebar tight and follow me! After this epic descent we head to the heights of the mountains of LAMAY, until we reach the community of Sapacto 4,330 m 14290 ft, from where we will descend along another ancient Incan trail a little more technical with rocky areas that flows from top to bottom. At the end of these descents we will enjoy a typical lunch in the area (the guinea pig) and then return to Cusco, but not without riding HUAYLLARCITO, the trail we rode the first day of our MOUNTAIN BIKE ADVENTURE. At night we will gather to celebrate the incredible days we spent riding a bike in the Peruvian Andes.
