Maras Downhill MTB A Full Day of Epic Sacred Valley Riding

Tour Description

Get ready for full day of adrenaline with Maras Downhill MTB, in heart of Sacred Valley, combining two of region’s most exciting trails: Maras Epic Trail 1 and Maras 2. We start at high altitude viewpoints with stunning views of Cusco highlands and descend through singletracks crossing Inca terraces, ancient footpaths, and technical flow sections.

First descent is fast and fluid, with natural berms, stone stairs, and postcard views of Maras salt mines. Second descent is more technical, with rocky sections, tight curves, and demanding terrain testing your control and precision. Both trails offer unique combination of cultural immersion, spectacular landscapes, and constant excitement.
