Offered in: English and 1 more

Enjoy a different way to know part of the Sacred Valley of the Incas by ATV. On board the quad bikes, the route passes through remote villages and beautiful natural scenery that is graced by the Sacred Valley. The Moray platforms with their circular terraces, which form differentiated microclimates for agricultural production in the manner of the Incas, will be one of the attractions with stops for resting and local contemplation.

The tour continues vibrantly through more challenging trails to the salt pans of Maras, a beautiful mountain covered by the white salt naturally produced by the salt water that runs down the hill, soaking the tanks of the terraces. This salt is removed until the water dries out over time, and marketed in the region, with some of it also exported to other countries. Still in Maras, there will be a chance to stroll through the streets of this small town, getting to know its historic center and enjoying the beautiful scenery around it.
