The engine thrums beneath you as the high valley opens—terraced bowls cut into the earth and a patchwork of white salt pans glinting like a constellation. You climb onto a 250–350cc quad and follow a narrow dirt ribbon past puna grass and low stone walls, the wind pulling at your jacket while the Sacred Valley spreads below.
moderate.
6–7 hours.
Suitable for travelers in average physical condition; must handle short periods of standing, controlling an ATV, and moderate adrenaline on long ziplines.
Yes—guides provide basic instruction and run a short practice section; machines listed (250–350cc) are aimed at recreational riders, but you should be comfortable with hand-operated brakes and throttle.
Ziplines welcome younger participants depending on weight and parental consent; ATVs may require riders to be a minimum age—confirm with the operator when booking.
Sites like Moray sit around 3,500 m; mild altitude symptoms (headache, shortness of breath) are common—hydrate, eat lightly, and notify guides if you feel unwell.
No—modern rules restrict ATVs on the Maras salt pans to protect the site; the tour uses transport for the final approach and walking access for viewing.
Moray’s circular terraces functioned as a living experiment in microclimates for crop domestication during the Inca era; Maras salt pans are pre‑Inca in origin and remain community-owned.
The salt pans are managed by local cooperatives and access is controlled to protect fragile evaporation pools; stay on trails, avoid collecting salt, and follow guide directions to minimize impact.
