Operators commonly allow shared ATVs for two people; age and passenger rules vary—confirm during booking and disclose ages for safety.
Tours can be cancelled for safety in heavy rain or poor trail conditions; the operator’s policy allows full refund if cancelled at least 24 hours prior.
Moray’s concentric terraces are thought to be Inca agricultural experiments exploiting microclimates; Maras salt pans predate Inca use and remain locally managed saltworks.
