Daily Itinerary
We will begin the tour with pickup from your hotel in Cusco at around 7:00 a.m., followed by a one-hour drive to our base in Cruzpata. After a brief safety briefing and practice session with our instructor, you'll set off on an exciting ATV ride through the stunning landscapes of the Andes. Our first stop is Moray, a remarkable Inca site featuring circular agricultural terraces believed to have been used to create microclimates for crop experimentation. Here, you'll enjoy spectacular views while learning about the ingenuity of Inca agricultural techniques. After returning the ATVs at the base, we will continue by vehicle to the impressive Maras Salt Mines. Once we finish exploring the Maras and Moray area, we will stop for lunch before continuing to your hotel in the beautiful Sacred Valley.
