Explorations in
Sacred Valley

A Signature Explora ride for experienced mountain bikers seeking a technical route beyond the Sacred Valley. Follow ancient trails alongside the majestic Apus, sacred mountains long revered in Andean tradition. Veronica, the first of nine visible peaks, rises above quiet farmlands and village life. The route descends through Moray’s circular terraces and continues to Maras, where salt pools shimmer across the mountainside. A journey through ancestral landscapes and living tradition.

Beyond the Sacred Valley, an ancient route winds through quinoa fields and eucalyptus forests, revealing a landscape where history and tradition remain alive. This e-bike journey leads to the vast agricultural terraces of Zurite, among the largest built by the Inca. Along the way, discover the colonial village of Tiobamba and its 16th-century church, where Andean artistry blends with baroque design, and take in views of the glistening salt pools of Maras, carved into the mountainside.

Following an old Inca road still used by the region's inhabitants to trade products between Pampa de Anta and the Sacred Valley, we go into the ravine until we reach Wata, an old ceremonial center on the mountain peak that predates the Incan era and has spectacular views of the mountain range and the Quebrada Huarocondo.
