This exciting ATV tour begins in the picturesque village of Maras, where you will embark on an unpaved route that will take you through breathtaking landscapes and traditional agricultural fields.
Our first destination is the archaeological site of Moray, an impressive Inca site known for its circular terraces, believed to have been used as a center for agricultural experimentation. If you wish, you can take a short guided tour of Moray, where you will learn about its fascinating history and the advanced engineering of the Incas.
After exploring Moray, we will continue our journey by ATV through fields and rural roads, passing by the historic temple of Maras. This tour offers spectacular views of the Andes and an immersion into the daily life of the Sacred Valley.
Finally, we will drive to the Maras Salt Pans, a collection of more than 3,000 salt ponds that have been exploited since pre-Inca times. Although for safety reasons it is not accessible by ATV, you will have the opportunity to walk among the ponds and learn about salt extraction that has remained unchanged for centuries.
