Description

Experience the magic of the Sacred Valley of the Incas on a premium ATV adventure designed for travelers who value comfort, authenticity, and excitement. Your journey begins with pickup from your hotel in Cusco’s historic center, where you’ll meet your expert local guide and start a scenic one-hour drive through the Andean landscape in a modern, private vehicle. Your first stop is at the Maras Salt Mines, an iconic site where thousands of salt pools shimmer on the mountain slopes. You’ll visit a small local shop to taste traditional Andean products made from the natural salt and learn about the ancestral extraction methods that local families still preserve today. For guests joining the morning departure (6:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.), this visit has been strategically designed for exclusive access, allowing you to explore the area in peace, without crowds, and enjoy a more intimate guided experience with access to panoramic viewpoints that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. Afterward, continue by vehicle for about 15 minutes to the ATV base in Khua-Mahuaypampa, where your adventure on four wheels begins. Receive a comprehensive safety briefing and riding practice, then gear up with certified helmets, waterproof gloves, and rain ponchos during the wet season. With your guide and assistant accompanying you throughout the ride, you’ll feel safe and supported as you drive along scenic rural trails surrounded by fields, mountains, and open sky. Your next destination is the archaeological site of Moray, an engineering masterpiece made up of circular terraces used by the Incas for agricultural experiments. Here, your guide will explain its fascinating purpose and symbolism, and you’ll have time to walk around, take photos, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this sacred place. On the return journey to the base, you’ll make a special stop at an exclusive viewpoint, perfect for taking memorable photos and soaking in the incredible Andean landscape. Back at the base, you’ll be greeted with a special surprise gift as a token of appreciation for joining the experience. Finally, board your vehicle for the one-hour drive back to Cusco, ending the day filled with memories of adventure, culture, and breathtaking beauty. This tour is available in two daily departures: Morning group: 6:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Afternoon group: 1:00 p.m. – 7:20 p.m. Both offer the same route and quality of service, but the morning group provides a more exclusive visit to the Maras Salt Mines, with quiet surroundings, fewer visitors, and personalized guiding at the best viewpoints. With personalized attention, a comfortable private vehicle, professional guides, and top-quality safety gear, this ATV tour offers more than an adventure — it’s an authentic journey through the heart of the Andes, combining culture, nature, and comfort in a truly premium experience.
