About this activity
Explore two of the Sacred Valley's most fascinating Incan sites—the terraced salt ponds of Maras and the concentric agricultural laboratories of Moray—aboard an ATV quad bike. This full-day adventure combines off-road thrills with authentic archaeological discovery, taking you through rural villages and mountain terrain that most tour buses never reach.
