Highlights
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.

About Cusco
Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.
The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
