We also provide high quality enduro or full-face helmet, elbow pads, knee pads and gloves. However, there are riders who prefer to bring their own equipment for better comfort and perfect fit.

 

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECTED DURING THE DIFFERENT MTB TOURS?

To strive to go beyond expectations, we have selected the best MTB trails for amazing rides and experiences.

 

How long is each ride approximately?

It will vary depending on the trail and tour we are riding and of course upon each individual rider.

 

The full day, scenic, dh, enduro, xco & road biking tours are made to ride from 3 to 4 hours per day, while the multiday and expedition MTB TOURS are made to give riders 4 to 5 hours of riding per day. The rest of the day will be spent loading and unloading bikes, getting a shuttle to the trailheads, visiting cool places, enjoying delicious meals, and having a great time with the guides and some locals.

 

What meals are included in my tour?

For all of our rides we offer really good snacks, water, and either a delicious homemade picnic lunch or a typical traditional lunch at one of the good restaurants around the places we ride. For our multiday and expedition MTB tours, all breakfast and some dinners are included, as detailed in the ride description. The meals we will have are as great as the trails we will ride!

 

What about the accommodation?

For the multiday and expedition MTB tours we use well located 3-star hotels and lodges which are very comfortable, clean, safe, and have all the essential services some might need, this hotels and lodges have spaces where we can clean, maintain and store our bikes, it also depends on the size of your team. However, if you and your team are interested in a better level of comfort, it can be coordinated in advance or you can book yourself the hotels you want to stay during the MTB adventure.

Please understand that you are traveling in foreign country with a different culture, different beliefs, different lifestyle and different food. Certain things will not be the same as it is back at home. This is the time to embrace the bizarre and to get to know the real Peru!

 

What kind of rules do you have for rental bikes?

 

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.

 

What happens if I bring my own bike?

If you have your own bike for the full day rides, shredding Cusco up, scenic Cusco rides and rainbow MTB expedition, you will get a $50USD discount per day.

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.

Nowadays it is easier to travel with your bike if you pack it in the well-known bike travel luggage brands like THULE and EVOC or even if you put attention to packing your bike in the factory cardboard box it came with.

What else should I bring with my bike?

KINTI CUSCO BIKING maintains a cool workshop with all the tools we need to repair and maintain our bikes in good condition. So, you will have a bike stand available to assemble and repair your bike at your lodging. However, we require riders to bring any special tools for their specific bike, a hand pump, and a multi-tool with chain breaker.

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

A spare tube

An extra rear derailleur with and extra hanger

Chain repair link and chain lube

Spokes

Small bottle of tubeless sealant

Tubeless patch kit

2 extra pair of brake pads

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.

        In the afternoon we will ride the epic UNUKASA and SAYWITE single tracks, these are longer and challenging MTB trails with lots of loose terrain, rock gardens, tight curves, thin lines and few steep sections, on our way down we will also ride through a dry river wich is not that usual in this part of the Andes. Finishing our day, we will drive to SORAYPAMPA where we will spend the night in such an cool location.

        Day 3:  The Great Salkantay MTB ride

        Today is the day we have to conquer the SALKANTAY PASS 4650 m, and ride the most incredible MTB trail that goes through different types of terrain and ecosystems, this ride takes more than 5 hours down in a very flowy trail that finish in a very cool hot spring.

        We will wake up very early at Soraypampama 3850 m, where we start our adventure. Once we load the bikes on the horses and enjoy a hearty breakfast, we start with our 3 to 4 hour hike near the great SALKANTAY glacier 6271 m which has great views of the Andes. Upon arriving to the pass, we have time to relax and recover energies before we ride this endless single track on the other side of these huge mountains.

        Time to shred on, the first section is very technical with lots of rocky areas and tight curves, then it turns into a very nice and flowy dirt trail which goes from the cold Puna highlands down to the warm and dense jungle of Chaullay to then ride and old road down until Santa Teresa, which has the coolest hot spring and of course we will go to soak and enjoy there.

After 30 minutes of travel we will reach Aguas Calientes town, where we will take the bus towards MACHUPICCHU, a journey of approximately 30 min. Once in MACHUPICHU we will have a guided tour by an expert and thus learn more about this ancient culture. We will explore the entire citadel for approximately 3 to 4 hours in which we can take a short hike that will take us to the Inca bridge along a spectacular path. We leave the Inca bridge and return to make a complete tour visiting sacred temples, royal houses, main squares and all the important places that sacred citadel has to offer. After an amazing tour from corner to corner it is time to say goodbye to this wonderful place and return to the town of Aguas Calientes to catch the train that will take us back to Ollantaytambo, where we will spend the night. This place is the most charming town in the sacred Valley of the Incas.

         

        Day 5:  Inca Avalanche - Cusco

        Waking up in this part of the SACRED VALLEY is something unique and indescribable, especially since we will be MOUNTAIN BIKING on amazing and gnarly trails located around this great place.

The INCA AVALANCHE begins above 4,400 m 14,520 ft, near the top of the Veronica snowcapped mountain and flows until it reaches the vicinity of  MACHUPICCHU, riding down a MOUNTAIN BIKE trail that has small ramps, natural wallrides, passing around shepherd communities, Incan archeological sites, and especially a lot of adrenaline. We will ride this trail twice and then return to Ollantaytambo to enjoy a hearty lunch and some local drinks.

        In the afternoon we will go to another point to ride another outstanding MTB trail that begins in the archaeological site of PUMA MARKA. This trail is a mix of green terrain with rocks and flows through an ancient Incan road that takes us through unique places passing slopes full of Incan platforms, small streams and some Andean communities until we reach OLLANTAYTAMBO riding through its beautiful and narrow streets with water channels running next to the walls all the way down to the plaza where we can enjoy a few beers watching a beautiful sunset, to then go back to Cusco.
