Wind rakes at 3,500 meters as you clip into the first zipline; straight ahead, the Andes open into terraces and salt pans that seem carved by meticulous hands. The morning begins in Cusco and climbs into the Sacred Valley, where each cable rushes you past steep ridgelines and across wind-scoured gullies, then hands you over to an ATV for a rattle-and-roar ride toward Maras and the concentric circles of Moray.
