    TRIP ITINERARY

    Day 1

    ATV Adventure to Moray & Maras Salt Mines

    The tour begins with a 50-minute panoramic drive from Cusco to the community of Cruzpata, where you’ll receive safety instructions, helmets, and gloves.
    After a short practice, you’ll start your quad bike adventure through scenic rural trails surrounded by breathtaking mountain views.

    Our first stop will be Moray, a unique archaeological site featuring concentric terraces that illustrate the Inca’s agricultural ingenuity. You’ll have around 25 minutes to explore and take photos before heading back on your ATV toward Maras.

    After about 40 minutes of riding, we’ll return to our base and continue by vehicle for 20 minutes to reach the Maras Salt Mines — one of the oldest salt extraction centers in the world.
    Here, you’ll learn about traditional salt production and enjoy time to capture incredible photos.
    Finally, we’ll return to Cusco, arriving around 1:00 p.m. or 7:00 p.m., depending on your selected schedule.
