CUSCO - PILCOPATA CLOUD FOREST
03 Days - 02 Nights
SUMMARY
This is an unforgettable experience biking from the mountains to the cloud forest of Perú. From the highest point pass (13,700 ft), we’ll descend to the cloud forest, making fantastic cross sections through eastern Cusco.
In this trip not only does the geography, altitude, scenery and vegetation change dramatically but also the local beliefs, traditions and dresses. This is a wonderful way to follow one of the best routes, where you’ll enjoy full adrenaline, contact with nature, interaction with local people, an authentic taste of the local dishes and much more.
