From €72 per person
See availability →A Moray and Maras ATV tour from Ollantaytambo: ride through Andean countryside to the circular terraces, then visit the salt pools by tourist vehicle.
The Moray and Maras ATV tour mixes engine and archaeology. Your guide waits in Ollantaytambo's main square, and from there you travel to the ATV base in Cruzpata, where a safety talk, a lesson in handling the quad and a trial run come before the real ride.
The first ride runs about 45 minutes across open farmland and mountain scenery to Moray. You leave the quad to walk around the circular Inca terraces, stopping for photographs while the guide explains the history of the site. Another ride of about 45 minutes brings you back to the base.
- An ATV, helmet and safety equipment
- A bilingual guide who speaks English and Spanish
- A first-aid kit
- Tourist transport between the stops
From the base you continue by tourist vehicle to the Maras Salt Mines, possibly stopping at a salt shop on the way. There you see thousands of pools stepping down the slope and learn how salt has been harvested in the area for generations.
The tour takes between 6 and 6.5 hours and ends in Ollantaytambo, or in the centre of Cusco if you prefer, with no surcharge. The airport is not covered by that transfer. Entrance tickets, food, drinks and tips are paid separately.
