Cusco is the mountain biking paradise, as it is located in the Andes mountains in the south of Peru; each mountain in the Andes was previously traversed by the Incas, and today there are still traces of Inca roads where you can do mountain  biking downhill around in Cusco.

Today I write this blog, not as a writer, but as a cycling guide who has explored every downhill route, so I invite you to read and watch the videos.

Best trail in Perú, Downhill Cusco

The city of Cusco is located in the south of Peru at 3,400m above sea level, with over 428,450 inhabitants divided into 13 provinces and 112 districts between the jungle and the mountains.

Some of these downhill routes are of intermediate to advanced level with technical sections such as verticals, stone gardens, curves, and some jumps; these are the famous downhill trails in Cusco.
