Day 1
Ollantaytambo to the Lares Valley
You begin Ebiking high above Ollantaytambo at 4000 metres. We drive you to the start, past the small communities of Huilloc and Patacancha, famous for their fine weavings. Most locals still wear handwoven red ponchos and distinctive hats. We have been reforesting this area with the locals since 2007 with native trees. You will be able to see how these areas are progressing. A percentage of the cost of your trip goes to this project. You Ebike downhill from the pass to the village of Huaca Huasi, set amongst the Lares hills. From here, you take the dirt road to Lares hot springs. Bring your swimming costume and a towel to enjoy a dip in the relaxing medicinal waters. From the hot springs, you can choose to drive or Ebike to the Lares pass at 4300 metres. Once at the top of the pass you Ebike down to Calca and the Sacred Valley, some 1300 metres below. There is a choice of routes, depending upon abilities. Either down the tarmac road or on old trails through the Totora Canyon where you can spot the holes in the cliffs, used in Inca times to bury their dead. Both routes end up in Calca, where your Ebiking tour ends. Our car will take you on from here. Included: English-speaking guide, transport, lunch, Ebike, helmet, gloves, equipment

After living in Peru for around 4 years, I'm still making it my business to discover as many new places as possible. From wandering Inca Trails just outside of Lima to hanging out in adobe homes in Cajamarca, there's a lifetime of adventure out here.
