DESCRIPTION The experience

An Incredible Four-Wheel Experience

At 9:00 a.m., we will begin this unforgettable adventure with pickup from your hotel in Cusco. We will travel by private transportation for approximately 50 minutes until we reach the Khua community, located in the heart of the majestic Sacred Valley of the Incas.

After a brief training session, we will begin our ATV experience, ready to explore unpaved roads and live a day full of excitement and breathtaking landscapes.

Our first stop will be at the Moray Terraces, an ancient Inca agricultural research center, famous for its circular design and ancestral purpose. Then, we will continue the journey through the rural roads of the Maras community, from where you can see the imposing Urubamba mountain range, with spectacular views of the Verónica and Chicón snow-capped peaks, as well as crop fields that beautify the path.

We will arrive at the beautiful Huaypo Lagoon, where we will enjoy a delicious picnic lunch in a natural and peaceful setting. After recharging our energy, we will begin our return to the base.

To culminate this incredible experience, we will board our transportation and head to the famous Maras Salt Mines, a set of more than 3,000 salt ponds used since pre-Inca times, offering a truly unique and photogenic view.
