Moray & Maras Salt Mines Tour
Ready for adventure? We’ll travel by minibus to the community of Cruz Pata, located in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Once there, we’ll hop on the quad bikes and briefly explain the safety rules that must be followed throughout the activity.
We’ll begin the route heading toward the Inca site of Moray, where we’ll admire the concentric terraces that reveal the ingenuity of this ancient civilization.

Riding the quad bikes, we’ll travel along its shores while admiring the local flora and fauna, and we’ll share many of the stories and legends surrounding this place. Could it really be true that several UFOs have landed here?
We’ll continue the quad bike tour by visiting the famous Maras salt mines, where we’ll enjoy unbeatable views of the Vilcanota River before returning to Cusco.
