A cold mountain wind cuts across open agricultural terraces as the group straps helmets and gloves at a low base camp just off the valley road. Engines rumble; the first stretch is a gravel ribbon that climbs between tilled fields and small Andean hamlets, giving way to panoramic views of the surrounding Andes before the quads roll into the wide concentric terraces of Moray.
