ATV adventure in the Sacred Valley: ride from Chinchero to Maras' 5,000 pink salt pools and the circular terraces of Moray.
The ATV Maras Moray Tour combines the thrill of riding an ATV with the wonder of the most fascinating archaeological sites in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. From the heights of Cruz Pata in Chinchero (3,800 m.a.s.l.) to the pink salt pools of Maras and the enigmatic circular terraces of Moray, this adventure offers landscapes and experiences you will never forget.
This half-day tour is perfect for those seeking to combine adrenaline with history and culture, while enjoying panoramic views of the Verónica and Chicón snow-capped peaks during the ATV ride.
The Maras Salt Mines are a unique site in the world: more than 5,000 pink salt pools spread across the mountainside, used since pre-Inca times for salt extraction. The view from above is spectacular and walking among the pools is a unique cultural and historical experience.
The circular terraces of Moray are considered the most advanced agricultural laboratory of the Inca Empire. Their concentric terraces create artificial microclimates with temperature differences of up to 15°C between the upper and lower levels, allowing the Incas to experiment with growing various plants from different altitudes.
The ATV ride from Cruz Pata will let you experience the excitement of riding through rural paths of the Sacred Valley, with breathtaking Andean views. Before departing, you will receive full instructions for correct ATV handling and all necessary safety equipment (helmet, gloves and goggles).
At Ready to Travel Peru we offer you a safe, thrilling and cultural experience in one of Peru's most beautiful valleys.
