More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The engine rasp of a quadbike cuts through thin Andean air as riders peel away from Cruz Pata and head into the wide bowl of the Sacred Valley. Dirt tracks thread between terraced fields and scattered adobe homes; mud puddles fling up in jaunty arcs, and the wind seems to push you onward, past grazing alpacas and corn stubble.
