Amazing views, awesome guides, so worth it.
This was an amazing experience and I’m so glad we booked it! Pick up at our hotel, boxed lunch and snacks provided, drop off at hotel. Our guides, Daniel and Jon were so knowledgeable and fun. The bike riding was strenuous but not impossible. The views are out of this world and it was such a nice way to connect with nature. Would highly recommend!

Great MTB fun in the Sacred Valley (early communication was missing)
Daniel was a wonderful guide. We enjoyed the ride and the sites—he was very knowledgeable about the sites along the way from Cusco to Chinchero to the Sacred Valley. We truly appreciated that he suggested we take the single track MTB route in Maras to Salineras. So much fun! Our only negative comment would be in the initial communication. We were not able to make it to the briefing the evening prior to the bike trip and had communicated that to the company very early in our booking. We were given no information about what time our morning pick up would happen—We were told by email that our guide would call us in at 7pm the evening prior. No calls—no email—no WhatsApp text! Without any calls and a sleepless night of wondering we thought we would have to abandon. We finally got a message at 8am. From that point we were excited and ready and it worked out in the end.

Peru Mtn Bike Trip (Moras and Moray)
This trip was awesome. Our guide Daniel was excellent - including his quick repair work when i got not one but two flat tires on my bike. This trip offers phenomenal views and excellent biking. Experience with mountain bikes is critical for challenging sections - that being said I'm sure Daniel will modify routes based on skill level. There is no vehicle traffic its all rural roads and trails. I was still acclimating to the elevation for this trip - it is at a very high elevation, so I'd recommend time to acclimate before taking the tour. That being said Daniel knew when breaks were needed to breath and rest ( I walked my bike up a couple of steep sections), be prepared to see rural life and animals is a part of Peru most visitors do not get to see (Wow - Great!!). Lunch is old town square is also cool.
Response from the operator: CONDE TRAVEL team; we feel very grateful for your preference with us in your adventure MARAS MORAY BIKING and especially your recommendations. Our guides are highly recommended and above all very professional, making your experience an unforgettable adventure.

<p>This was one our highlights with our visit to Cusco . Our ride leader worked very hard looking after us . He was very informative. The ride was challenging enough.</p>

<p>We had a fantastic day on this tour. Our guide was awesome as were the other 3 guys we were biking with. The ride itself was a mix of gentle uphill, progressing to walking our bikes up to the top. From the top the thrills began as we descended into the town of Maras to our first stop for a nice boxed lunch. After lunch we continued onward to Las Salinas, which was amazing. Most of the downhill was quite manageable, only having to dismount in a few steep, technical sections. Overall our entire group had a blast. Truly one of our highlights while in Cusco. I would recommend this tour to anyone with previous mountain bike experience. Some downhill, technical ability would definitely be an asset.</p>

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Maras and Moray Biking Tour from Cusco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Maras and Moray Biking Tour from Cusco cost?
+
Prices start at $160 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Maras and Moray Biking Tour from Cusco take?
+
Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is Maras and Moray Biking Tour from Cusco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Maras and Moray Biking Tour from Cusco?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Maras and Moray Biking Tour from Cusco suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 24-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Maras and Moray Biking Tour from Cusco?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Maras and Moray Biking Tour from Cusco start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
