Overview

🛵 Maras & Moray ATV Tour: Half-Day Adventure from Cusco

Embark on an exciting ATV tour to Maras and Moray, one of the most popular half-day adventures from Cusco. This experience combines thrill, culture, and breathtaking Andean landscapes, making it the perfect choice for travelers seeking both adrenaline and history.

Your journey begins with a convenient hotel pickup in Cusco followed by a short 50-minute drive to Cruzpata, where you’ll receive a safety briefing and practice session with quad bikes (cuatrimotos). Once ready, the adventure starts with an exhilarating 2-hour ride across scenic dirt roads surrounded by snow-capped peaks such as Verónica and Chicón.

The first stop is at the impressive Moray archaeological site, an ancient Inca agricultural laboratory with circular terraces that showcase the engineering genius of the Incas. Riding through the Sacred Valley landscapes, you’ll continue toward the iconic Maras Salt Mines (Salineras de Maras), where thousands of salt pools create a dazzling white canvas across the mountainside.

This Maras and Moray ATV Tour is designed for travelers who want to experience more than just sightseeing—it’s about adventure, culture, and photography. The day concludes with a scenic drive back to Cusco, arriving at Plaza Regocijo, just steps away from the main square.

✨ Whether you’re a history lover, adrenaline seeker, or photography enthusiast, this ATV adventure to Maras and Moray is a must-do when visiting Cusco.
