Andean Lagoons eBike Tour Description

Discover Cusco’s breathtaking Andean landscapes in a gentle and sustainable way with an electric mountain bike (eBike). This full-day Andean Lagoons eBike Tour takes you through three iconic Sacred Valley destinations: the peaceful Piuray Lagoon, the traditional village of Chinchero, and the picturesque Huaypo Lagoon.

Your adventure begins early in the morning with private transportation to Villa del Carmen. From there, you’ll pedal through rural Andean communities, ancestral weaving centers, and two sacred lagoons—all with the ease of electric-assisted pedaling. Electric assistance helps with pedaling, but riding at altitude still requires effort. Ask our team whether the route suits your riding ability and needs.

In Chinchero, you’ll be welcomed into a local artisan’s home to witness the traditional weaving process using natural dyes. The route offers panoramic views of the Urubamba mountain range and concludes with lakeside lunch at Huaypo, where you can also take an optional boat ride.
