The engine coughs to life at first light and the high Andean air pushes cold and thin against your face as you roll out from an air‑conditioned shuttle toward the ATV base near kilometer 39 of the Sacred Valley route. Tracks wind into wide puna grasslands, cross low stone walls and climb toward the bowl‑shaped terraces of Moray; the landscape nudges you forward, wind urging you along switchbacks that open to broad, cultivated amphitheaters.
