Itinerary

Detailed Itinerary – Maras Moray ATV Tour

DAY 1

Andes Tour through Maras & Moray in ATV

The off-road vehicle is a Honda ATV TRX 250, powerful outdoor adventure equipment. We carry out the Sacred Valley ATV tourist circuit from Cruzpata to Moray, which has impressive panoramic views. The high plateau of Moray Maras is known as the balcony of the Sacred Valley for having beautiful views of the Andes Mountain range with its eternal snow-capped mountains plus valleys and ravines.

We start the trip from the city of Cusco at 07:40 towards the northwest via POROY to reach CHINCHERO. The vehicle leaves us in one of the TEXTILE CENTERS OF CHINCHERO to visit it and learn a little about the Inca culture. Organized families from different areas of Chinchero: They offer us a fresh coca leaf mate to adapt to the altitude.

The Chincherinas families organically explain the elaboration of textiles. We continue the visit with the ruins of Chinchero, where several Inca walls of excellent texture can be seen joined together as a polishing system. Chinchero is the royal house of the ninth Inca ruler and a site for plant experimentation. We return to our vehicle at the RAQCHI viewpoint for unique views of the Sacred Valley, then continue to the CRUZ PATA ATV BASE.

START THE ATV TOUR

The tour experience takes about 45 minutes to drive the ATVs from CRUZPATA to MORAY, and the return trip to the BASE takes the same amount of time. The last visit is to the Salineras of Maras. We do it in our vehicle because it is FORBIDDEN TO DRIVE ATVs in the Salineras area. After all, there are cliffs, so it is off-limits for the safety of every visitor.

Didactic explanation of off-road machines

  • The ATVs are Honda TRX 250, robust for all-terrain and complex of the Sacred Valley, Maras, Moray, the Huaypo Lagoon, etc.
  • You have a small throttle lever on the right-hand side rudder that works by pressing your thumb; there is also the handbrake.
  • The button changes from the first to the fifth, shown on the handle on the left side.
  • We have a small practice circuit for driving ATVs before starting the tour of the Andes. The trail has holes, slopes, etc., to adapt to the Maras Moray ATV tourist circuit.

Make your visit to the Sacred Valley an adventure with a fun-filled ATV Tour! See famous sacred sites like Moray, Chinchero, Maras, and more from behind the wheel of an ATV as you explore.

WHAT NOT TO DO WHEN RIDING YOUR ATV MORAY TOUR?

  1. While riding the ATV, you must wear a safety helmet.
  2. Please do not put your leg(s) on the ATV while it is in motion.
  3. Do not perform risky maneuvers when driving Quads.
  4. Stay on the right side of the trail or dirt road.
  5. Do not operate your machine with one hand!
  6. Do not take photos or videos while driving. If you are going to take pictures or film videos, you must bring an adapter to mount your GoPro on your chest, helmet, or hooks, or to place it somewhere on the ATV.
  7. Slow down on ALL CURVES and turn slowly through curves.
  8. There are hills and ups and downs in different tour sections, so keep an eye on the trail and follow the directions of your local and tour guides.
  9. Do not accelerate too much or try to run; adventure is about enjoying the outdoors without accidents.

NOTE: We take these and other measures to ensure the safety of each visitor to the Maras Moray ATV tourist circuit. If there is an accident, we have our private vehicle at the ATV BASE. We immediately call the car to assist the explorer or go directly to the hospital, depending on the severity of the case.
