Description

Enjoy a half-day tour with llama encounters and an ATV adventure to Moray and the Salt Mines of Maras. Culture, landscapes, and adrenaline in just 7 hours.
Experience: Llama watching + ATVs in Moray & the Salt Mines

We'll start the day with pick-up from your hotel between 6:00 and 6:20 a.m. to head to Chinchero, where we'll see some baby alpaca textiles and observe llamas. Then we'll get back on the transportation and, along the way, admire beautiful Andean landscapes and panoramic views of the mountains until we reach the quad biking base.

Upon arriving at the quad biking base, we'll give you a warm welcome and show you to a special area where you can observe and interact with llamas and alpacas. Here, you'll also learn about their importance in Andean culture, how they are raised, and the uses of their fiber. This will be an authentic and very photogenic experience.

Afterward, you'll receive a brief but thorough safety briefing on how to ride ATVs. Once ready, we'll start the adventure by driving along roads surrounded by mountains, farmlands, and unique landscapes on our way to Moray, an impressive archaeological site with circular terraces used by the Incas as an agricultural laboratory.

At the end of the ATV tour, we'll board our tourist transportation to head to the famous Maras Salt Mines. Here you will be able to see hundreds of salt ponds in the heart of the mountains and learn about the ancient extraction process that has been preserved since pre-Inca times.

Finally, we'll head back to Cusco, arriving between approximately 2:00 and 2:30 p.m., thus wrapping up a comprehensive experience that combines culture, nature, adventure, and unforgettable landscapes in just half a day.
