Description
Discover the Sacred Valley in a more authentic way with this off-road cultural experience. Instead of a standard ATV tour, this adventure combines scenic riding, traditional Andean heritage, and direct interaction with local families.
Start with a safety briefing and get comfortable on your semi-automatic Honda off-road vehicle. Your guide will lead you across dirt trails, farmland, and Andean landscapes as you ride toward the first cultural stop — a traditional weaving family. Learn how alpaca wool is washed, spun, naturally dyed with plants and minerals, and transformed into colorful textiles. You’ll be able to observe, ask questions, take photos, and support the community if you wish.
Continue the route toward the world-famous Maras salt terraces. A local salt worker will explain how this ancient pre-Inca system still functions using natural spring water and gravity. This unique site is one of the most impressive examples of living Andean heritage.
After the visit, ride back through scenic trails and return to the base camp, ending the tour with a mix of culture, landscapes, and adventure — all in just a few hours.
You can choose the start time that works best for your day: 6:30 AM, 8:00 AM, 11:00 AM, or 1:00 PM.
This experience is ideal for travelers who want more than “just an ATV ride” and prefer something real, local, and memorable.
