Tour information

DESCRIPTION The adventure

PG Connections invites you to be part of this incredible 4-wheel experience, with departures by tourist transportation, about 50 minutes from Cusco to the CHEQEREQ community in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. There, after a few minutes of training, we will be ready to have an unforgettable experience!

We start with a passion for adventure on unpaved roads, it's time to get dusty. We venture along the path towards the MORAY TERRACES, an Inca agricultural experimentation center. Then we continue our adventure along the roads of the MARAS community from where you can see the Urubamba mountain range, the VERÓNICA AND CHICÓN snow-capped peaks, and beautiful crop fields along the way.

At the end of our ATV tour, we descend to the salt mines known as MARAS SALT MINES in our transportation, where our experienced guide will surprise you with a new return route.
