RIDE WITH PURPOSE · CUSCO, PERU
Cycling in Cusco needs places to ride and opportunities for people who want to develop in the sport. At Peru Biking Tours, together with Waman Adventures, we use part of our business revenue to support that work. We contribute to trail building and maintenance, support local competitions, and help riders from the region.
When you book a trip with either company, you help sustain the business activity that makes this work possible.
01 / KEEPING CYCLING MOVING
Cusco is changing. Urban growth, a growing population, and the subdivision of land have led to the closure of some cycling routes. When a route becomes unavailable, there is less space to train and ride.
Our goal is to keep mountain biking, including downhill and other disciplines, growing through trail maintenance and support for new trails. We want the sport to continue to have a place in the region and more local riders to have opportunities to develop. We also want to encourage young people and others in the community to get involved in cycling.
This work also aims to help sustain the connections that form around cycling. Trails and competitions bring together riders, organizers, and others involved in the sport. Supporting them is a practical way to contribute to local cycling.
THE CONNECTION
Peru Biking Tours and Waman Adventures fund these projects with part of their business revenue. Support depends on the project and the resources available. It may go toward trail work, competition expenses, or equipment and training needs.
Your trip helps sustain that activity. It connects the experiences we offer visitors to Cusco with our commitment to the cycling that takes place here.
02 / TRAILS WITH A STORY
Every trail has its own story, and every contribution has a different scope. These projects show how we have helped maintain and create places to ride in Cusco.
In 2024, we fully funded a maintenance project on one section of the Huayllarcocha trail, carried out in collaboration with Coco Rollings. The work focused on that section, rather than the whole trail.
Supporting maintenance is part of our goal of helping places to ride remain available. Work on existing trails complements the need to support new ones.
In 2024, we co-funded 50% of the construction of the Show's trail in San Jerónimo, Cusco. The trail was prepared for the fourth round of the National Downhill Championship.
Our involvement focused on contributing to its construction. This project connects two areas we want to keep supporting: new riding trails and competitions that provide opportunities for sporting development.
In 2025, we made a financial contribution to the construction of the new Ticapata trail, in a shared initiative with transport operators from Ticapata and Pumamarca.
Working with local participants allows us to contribute to new places to ride. Ticapata is part of that shared effort.
03 / THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SPORT
For cycling to keep growing, riders also need opportunities to train and take part. Our support includes practical help for athletes and contributions to local competitions.
We currently support two riders: Gabriel and André. This support includes riding equipment, spare parts, and funding for their training.
We would like to extend this support to other riders from the region as our resources allow. Today, this support is focused on Gabriel and André.
Equipment. Spare parts. Training.
Practical support for the next ride.

04 / A STRONGER LOCAL CYCLING SCENE
We have also contributed prizes and helped cover expenses for local cycling competitions. These contributions support the work of event organizers and help sustain opportunities to take part in the sport.
Competitions are an important part of keeping cycling active in Cusco. They give riders opportunities to meet and put their preparation into practice. Supporting events is therefore part of our commitment alongside trail work and rider support.
LOOKING AHEAD
Our goal is to keep supporting new trails, contribute to the maintenance of existing routes, and help riders emerging from the Cusco region. We want downhill and other mountain biking disciplines to keep growing here.
The scope of future support will depend on available resources and the needs of each initiative. We want to keep contributing to this work and help more riders as we are able to expand our support.
