Tambopata is a river, a national reserve and a province in Madre de Dios state, southeastern Peru. It harbors some of the most biodiverse rainforest in the country (and possibly the entire Amazon basin), huge protected areas, and is home to several thousand people. Remote, wild, but still easily accessible, this contrasting combination has helped it to become one of the global hotspots for ecotourism.
You get a hint of why Tambopata is such a wild area just before you land at the Puerto Maldonado airport. At the end of a quick flight to Tambopata from Lima or Cuzco, a sprawling carpet of jade green comes into view and stretches to the horizon. There are a few farms, a couple of roads, and the city of Puerto Maldonado is visible but these are still dwarfed by the sea of Amazon rainforest that marches into the distance. Meandering, coffee-colored rivers weave their way through the green. Massive, old growth Ceibas and other rainforest giants emerge from a 90 foot high canopy. Hidden beneath the trees are troops of monkeys, toucans, brilliantly colored macaws, and even jaguars. You never know what you are going to encounter in the rainforests of Tambopata but that view from the plane promises adventure and a once in a lifetime experience

The bike ride from Chinchero to Salinas de Maras is approximately 2 hours long.
The main attractions visited during the bike ride include Moray, with its unique concentric circular terraces used for agricultural experimentation, and the Salineras de Maras, where thousands of salt evaporation ponds are situated on the mountainsides.
Moray was an Inca site that served as an agricultural laboratory for experimenting with different crops at varying elevations. The concentric circular terraces were used to simulate different microclimates, allowing the Incas to study crop adaptation and development.
Participants are typically expected to arrive back in Cusco by approximately 5:00 PM after the bike tour.
For those interested in extending their adventure in the Sacred Valley, staying overnight allows for exploration of additional Inca sites like Ollantaytambo fortress and experiencing the tranquility of the valley after day trippers have departed.
