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.

Get down and dirty during your trip to Peru on this full-day ATV quad bike tour to the archaeological sites of Maras and Moray. Learn about the Incan culture and history as you ride offroad through small villages and seeing the country from a different perspective than a tour-bus window.

our guide Noa really knew their stuff and two rhinos by the waterhole was the highlight. Did it on our first morning so it wasnt too busy. Perfect for first-timers, and we saw 4 of the big five in one day, and out for a solid 6 hours. Would book again no question, no joke

our guide Mei really knew their stuff and a massive herd of elephants crossing in front of us was the highlight. Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. On a rainy sunday, and mid-week so it was quiet. Would book again no question, def recommend
