More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
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.

History
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.
Conservation
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.

Acclimatize before you go
Spend a day or two in Cusco or the Sacred Valley to reduce altitude effects—drink water and avoid heavy exertion on arrival.

Reusable water bottle or hydration bladder
Hydration is critical at altitude; guides provide unlimited water but having your own helps.
Sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen
UV exposure is intense; protect skin and eyes during open stretches.
