Itinerary and highlights

start point

We begin pickups between 6:30 and 7:00 am from your accommodation in a shared vehicle to the town of Cruzpata. The drive takes approximately 50 minutes, during which you can enjoy the scenic and architectural beauty of the Sacred Valley.
Once we arrive, you will receive instructions for the ATV tour, paying particular attention to practicing certain maneuvers and the proper use of safety equipment. Then it's time for an extreme four-wheeled adventure to Moray, an archaeological site showcasing the visionary Inca agricultural technology in an ingenious system of circular terraces. Here, Andean crops were diversified on terraces that reflect the genetic evolution of their harvests. The guide will make a single stop at the top of the terraces for approximately 20 minutes so you can enjoy panoramic views and take the best photos. After visiting this attraction, we will return to the Cruzpata base on ATVs. The quad bike tour will take approximately 2 hours round trip.

After leaving the ATVs, we will continue our journey to Maras in a shared vehicle (ATV riding in the salt mines is prohibited). At the Maras Salt Mines, you will learn about the artisanal extraction of pink salt in more than 3,000 pools carved into a mountain (3,380 meters above sea level / 11,080 feet), using the same traditional methods employed by the Incas.
We will arrive in Cusco around 1:00 pm, landing at Plaza Regocijo (Cusco's historic center).
