The experience
Four to five hours covers the whole day: hotel pickup at 8:30, a ride through the upper part of Cusco past four archaeological centers, the ceviche class, and lunch. The bike tour itself passes Sacsayhuaman, Q'enqo, Puka Pukara and Tambomachay with short stops at each so you can see them beyond just riding past. The guide explains what you're looking at as you go.
After the ride, you head to a seafood restaurant called the Marshal, where an expert chef gives a private ceviche-making class. You learn the preparation and make your own dish, then taste what you've made. Lunch follows, and then the transfer back to your hotel wraps the day.
The bike and all transportation are included. A guide speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese or German depending on your preference. The ride suits all fitness levels, though it's not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or pregnancy.
