GO ON A BIKE RIDE
Go hard: Biking around the verdant amphitheatre that is Peru’s Sacred Valley will test your mettle thanks to the altitude (3,000 metres-plus). But you’ll be distracted by the spectacular landscape carved by ancient civilisations, well-dressed alpacas and bustling Andean towns bursting with colourful textiles, ancient ruins and Spanish architecture. Go soft: Cycling France’s oldest wine route, the Alsace Route du Vin, is less about pedal power and more about staying power if you’re stopping to try its renowned Riesling. Meander past sloping vineyards, red-roofed villages and the Alsatian wine capital of Colmar with its cobbled streets, canals and gingerbread houses. Go home: The rugged green patchwork of the Peak District is a cyclist’s dream. Try the High Peak Trail, an old railway line that cuts through dramatic limestone peaks.
