Ride an ATV from Cusco to Moray, see Maras salt mines, enjoy Sacred Valley views, and get practical tips on cost, timing, and what to bring.
“We had a great time on our trip! Our guide was very knowledgeable about Maras and Moray and the views of these sites were amazing. The quad bikes were very fun!!”
Review of the Cusco ATV tour to Moray and Maras Salt Mines, with route details, costs, safety tips, guides, and honest advice.
“We had the most fun day! Everything - from pick-up, to ATV training, to photo stops to the return home went smoothly and effortlessly. Wilson and his team were kind and knowledgeable and helpful. The landscape was gorgeous - it felt like such a treat to be able to see the Andes away from any crowds and it was so fun to drive the ATVs! We chose not to tour the Moray (70 soles for 30 minutes felt steep) and didn't feel any pressure to join so we just took in the views while we waited for the rest of our tour. We loved touring the salt mines - absolutely…”
Review of Lima Bike Tour through Miraflores, Barranco, and Huaca Pucllana, with ocean views, guide tips, pricing, safety, and bike concerns.
“Manny was great! Very knowledgeable, easy to visit with, ask questions, very safe and always kept an eye on me to make sure I was okay. A great tour of the area with a relaxed pace and time for photos too. Highly recommend!”
Ride Lima’s coastal bike paths through Miraflores and Barranco, with ocean views, local art, historic streets, and complimentary ice cream.
“Great ride and tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Will do it again. The bike path was great regardless of the traffic.”
Cycle Lima’s coast from Miraflores to Chorrillos, climb to Cristo del Pacífico, and enjoy ocean views, local stories, and gelato.
“Great tour. Get away from the traffic whilst still seeing the city. Much better than sitting in a traffic jam on a cramped minivan. The bikes were of a fantastic standard and safety helmets provided. Nice stop after Jesus hill for cold drinks. Kral the guide gave a nice amount of information and made any road crossings super safe. I’m not a bike rider but made it round the route OK apart from pushing up Jesus hill.”
Cycle Lima’s Miraflores and Barranco, from cat-filled Kennedy Park to ocean views, murals, the Bridge of Sighs, and Larcomar.
“Great experience, Jose was very knowledgable, patient and pleasant to be with. Simply had a wonderful time!”
Ride an ATV to Peru’s Rainbow Mountain from Cusco, with meals, transport, a bilingual guide, and practical tips on altitude and value.
“Kurzform Regenbogenberge und die Quad Tour erlebnswert, Durchführung + Kompetenz Guide unprofessionel. Buchung englisch Verlegung des Treffpunkts Guide Raphael per Whats App gebeten 10 Minuten vorher hiersein. Tourbeginn 15 Minuten später unkonsequent Tourbus, war alt, eng ungepflegt. Die Begrüßung von Raphael war die Wiedergabe des Buchungstextes zur Veranstaltung auf spanisch und englisch. Restliche Hinfahrt Verteilung 90 % spanisch 10% englisch. Mittags Buffet grottenschlecht. Zur ATV Tour trotz Schneefall die Reise wert. Zwei Influencerinnen die Raphael nicht in den Griff bekommen hat. Dadurch Verzögerung Rückfahrt um fast eine Stunde (Berufsverkehr). Guide bei der Rückfahrt mit diversen...”
Review of Cusco’s 4-day Inca Jungle Adventure with biking, rafting, zipline, hikes, Machu Picchu, meals, lodging, and practical tips.
“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 some speed while catching the views. Rafting was excellent with a few decent rapids. Accommodation was terrible, very basic shared hostel with only cold water shower (not ideal after rafting), food was average but didn't go hungry. Day 2, Hike: I'd class myself intermediate hiker and I found it pretty easy, there's a few hills…”
Ride an ATV through Peru’s Sacred Valley to Huaypo Lagoon and Maras salt mines, with mountain views, local stops, and practical tips.
“Overall ok but we spent the vast majority of the time in the cramped van rather than doing activities. The Lagoon is also quite underwhelming as a site to visit. Fortunately it was just me and a motorbike guide taking this route (rather than visiting the Inca site) which meant I could have fun on the quad. If you’re stuck in the group you’ll be subjected to a basic and patronising set of rules and overly-precautious safety routine - this isn’t really the activity for you if you enjoy riding quads, it’s more a procession in a slow moving line (yawn). Our guide Carlos had big enthusiasm and explained the…”
See Lima by bike on a small-group tour through San Isidro, Miraflores, and Barranco, with bikes, helmets, water, and local guides included.
“Really fun tour. Our guide was great, gave us lots of interesting facts about the neighborhood. The tour takes the full 4 hours but it's not too tiring as there are breaks in between to explore the neighborhoods. The guide was also very flexible and asked us if we wanted to skip or spend more time in any location. The tour was also very safe as most routes had bike lanes and if the road didn't have a bike lanes the guide ensured that everyone was comfortable riding. Cycles were in good condition too. Highly recommend!”
Review of Cusco’s ATV tour to Moray, Maras salt mines, and a llama picnic, with prices, timing, practical tips, and honest pros and cons.
“I would specially like to thank Celinda for organizing this exciting tour for me. From the begining, everything was perfect, the attention, the explanation of the instructions and the safe, the atv tour was impressive.”
Explore Lima by bike through Miraflores, San Isidro, and Barranco, with Huaca Pucllana, El Olivar, local guides, and a small group.
“This was a fantastic tour, our group really enjoyed it and we saw some of Lima’s highlights. The guide was funny, friendly and knowledgeable and was great at managing a group cycling. This was a great way to see the city and one we will remember from our trip. Thank you”
Review of Inkayni Peru Tours’ 7-day Inca Jungle Adventure, with biking, rafting, ziplining, trekking, Sacred Valley sites, and Machu Picchu.
“Amazing scenery and adventure. Our guide Jonathon was amazing! Incredibly knowledgeable and connected in the area. All the activities were well done and very enjoyable and the scenery was the best I have ever seen.”
Ride through Lima’s Miraflores, Barranco, and Surquillo with coffee, ceviche, fruit, and local bites in a small four-hour tour.
“We hac a really good time with Andres He was so personable and gave us really good information. All the food you taste is excellent and we came back very full and extemely happy. Would definitely recommend this tour. It is a great way to see a lot of the area and also taste some yummy food.”
Ride through Arequipa’s historic center, Chilina Valley, Yanahuara, and volcano viewpoints on a safe three-hour bike tour.
“Fantastic tour with very good information from the tour guide. We saw a beautiful view at the two volcanos Chachani and Misti. We vent to the neighbourhoods of Arequipa. It’s a very different thing to see Arequipa on a bike. The tour guide tells you many things, about the Incas ond the Spanish people who lived in Arequipa in the old days. Also interesting things about the buildings in the city. All and all a fantastic trip. 😃🚴🏼♂️”
