Trade Cusco’s cobbled alleys for a 1.5‑hour ATV loop to the so‑called Residence of the Gods, a field of large hand‑carved cyclopean sculptures set on volcanic foothills. This guided tour combines short instruction, rugged tracks, and dramatic scenery with round‑trip transport from the city.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Cusco’s narrow streets behind as a small convoy hums toward the Sencca sector—windows down, thin mountain air pressing cool against your face. At the base you swap city shoes for boots, strap on a helmet and listen to a concise safety briefing. Then the ATVs answer the throttle and the trail opens: red earth, volcanic outcrops, and carved stones rising like deliberate islands in a highland sea.
