Introduction:
Do you have little time and want to live an adventure out of the ordinary? We offer you the Maras and Moray Tour in ATVs, half a day in which you can discover the essence of the Sacred Valley, its archaeological centers, part of its Andean towns and visionary spaces for agriculture, astronomy and advances of the Inca empire.
ITINERARY:
07:00: Pick up from lodging – Cruzpata – Moray – Maras Salt Mines
This exciting tour starts at 7:00 AM, when a professional guide picks you up from your accommodation in a shared vehicle heading to the village of Cruzpata. The journey takes approximately 50 minutes, during which you can enjoy the scenic beauty and architecture of the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
Once we arrive, you will receive instructions for the ATV tour, with a special focus on practicing some maneuvers and the proper use of safety equipment.
It’s time to experience an extreme adventure on four wheels towards Moray, an archaeological site that showcases the visionary Inca agro-technology in an ingenious system of circular terraces, where Andean crops were diversified in terraces that reflect the genetic evolution of their harvests. Here, the guide will make a unique stop at the top of the terraces for about 20 minutes, allowing you to observe them from a panoramic view and take the best photos. Once we have visited this attraction, we will return to the Cruzpata base on ATVs. The ATV ride will take approximately 2 hours round trip.
The route to Maras Salt Mines continues in private vehicles, to prevent road risks on the route. In the Salineras de Maras you know the artisanal exploitation of pink salt, in more than 3,000 pools dug on a mountain (3,380 masl / 11,080 ft) using the same artisanal method used by the Incas.
12:00 – 13:00: Return to Cusco
After knowing part of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, it is time to return to Cusco, arriving at approximately 1:00 p.m. at Regocijo Square.
