Mountain Biking
Mountain-biking tours are a growing industry in Cuzco, and the local terrain is superb.
However, rental bikes are poor quality and it is most common to find rígida (single sus-
pension) models, which can make for bone-chattering downhills. If you're a serious
mountain biker, consider bringing your own bike from home. Selling it in Cuzco is emin-
ently viable.
Outfitters can organize day trips in the neighboring hillsides, though most folks come
for multiday excursions. The following bike operators are recommended:
Amazonas Explorer (
25-2846; www.amazonas-explorer.com ) Has kids' bikes available.
Cusco Aventuras (
984-13-7403; cuscoaventura@hotmail.com)

Children
The Chiquity Club Offline map Google map ( 23-3344; www.chiquityclubcusco.com ; Marquez
259; child with parents S15; 9am-8pm Thu-Tue; ) is an excellent activity center for chil-
dren, which offers a great way for young families to decompress. The brainchild of a bi-
lingual Waldorf-trained teacher, this multifaceted space has play areas, a climbing wall, an
art room, a library, a dress-up theatre and a rockin' dark mini- discoteca, pulsing fun
tunes. The ideal age for visitors is one to nine years old. The center also offers babysitting
services and activity kits to go.
Other Activities
These span the range from horseback riding (which just about any agency can arrange)
to paying a visit to adventure parks such as Action Valley Offline map Google map (
