We will begin our exciting journey at the beautiful Plaza Regocijo, just a step away from the impressive Plaza de Armas in Cusco. Once we gather, we will board a comfortable tourist transport that will take us to the charming village of Cruspata. The road journey will last approximately 50 minutes and drop you off at the base of our incredible ATVs.
Our experienced professional guide will provide you with a detailed introduction to the route you have chosen, and you will have time to familiarise yourself with operating the ATVs. After a 30-minute training session, we will board the transport again to head towards one of the following destinations that you have to select: Huapo Lagoon or Moray(according to your choice).
The first route will take us to the incredible Huaypo Lagoon, located in the district of Eqqeco, near the charming village of Chinchero, at an altitude of 3,500 metres above sea level. For approximately 2 hours, you will explore the surroundings of this wonderful lagoon, which stretches for 1 kilometre in length, while learning about the legends that surround it.
The second route you can explore is towards the Moray ruins. It will be a fantastic 2-hour quad bike ride around this place to then explore these Inca ruins with a walking tour of 20 minutes. The archaeological site of Moray is located 7 kilometres from Maras. Imagine the coliseums of Moray, composed of three enormous circular terraces, each with its own history to discover. The largest coliseum, with an impressive depth of about 30 metres (98 feet), offers a sight to behold.
After exploring the Huaypo Lagoon or Moray, you will back to the base to leave the quad bike and again take the transport to go towards the famous Maras Salt Mines.
Located just 40 kilometres northwest of the majestic city of Cusco, in the Urubamba province, you will encounter the impressive natural salt pools known as Maras, dating back to the Inca era. At an altitude of 3,300 metres above sea level, these pools are a true marvel of Inca engineering and construction.
You will be amazed to see how saltwater flows beneath the pools and evaporates, leaving behind salt crystals that form over 3,000 natural pools. Moreover, the views from this place are simply breathtaking as it sits on an open hill, creating a unique and spectacular landscape.
At the end of this fun experience, we will return to the city of Cusco to drop you off at the final point of the excursion, at Plaza El Regocijo.
