This tour is for travelers who want Moray and Maras with some adrenaline, and who would rather ride across farm country than sit in a van all day. It suits couples and friends, since two people can share one ATV. If you prefer a full valley day by van with Chinchero and Ollantaytambo added, book the Chinchero, Moray and Maras day tour.
A van takes you about 1 hour 20 minutes from Cusco to the ATV base at Cruz Pata, on the plateau above the Sacred Valley. An instructor gives a 15-minute lesson on the controls, then the group rides dirt tracks between potato and quinoa fields to Moray, the Inca site of round stone terraces. After the visit you ride back to the base. The van then takes you down to the Maras salt pans, thousands of white pools fed by a salty spring, before the drive back to Cusco.
There are two departures, 7:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. We prefer the morning: the light on the salt pans is softer, the tracks are less dusty and you have the afternoon free. The plateau sits around 11,480 ft (3,500 m), lower than many Cusco day trips, so it works on your second day. For more on both sites read Maras salt mines and Moray explained.
One price for everyone: US$167 per person, shared service, with transport, ATV, instructor, guide and both site entries. There is no hotel tier because you sleep in your own Cusco hotel. Groups who want their own departure get a quote through the free quote form.
Two departures every day, at 7:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Pick your date and slot and send the free quote form. We confirm the seats within the day.
ATV numbers are limited per slot. In June and July send your request a week or two ahead.
Open a day to see the hours, the altitude and where you sleep. Times are the ones our guides actually keep.
Half day, back in Cusco the same day, high point about 11,480 ft (3,500 m)
Pickup at 7:00 a.m., or 1:00 p.m. for the afternoon slot, from hotels in central Cusco.
After about 1 hour 20 minutes by van you reach the base. Helmets on, and a 15-minute lesson with the instructor on throttle, brakes and spacing.
The group rides in line along dirt tracks across the plateau, with the instructor in front. Keep your distance from the ATV ahead, because the dust is thick.
A walk around the rim of the circular terraces while the guide explains the theory of the microclimates.
Back to Cruz Pata on the ATVs, where you board the van again.
Time to walk the edge of the pools and buy salt from the families who work them.
Drop-off in central Cusco in the early afternoon for the morning slot.
The route climbs from Cusco to the plateau above the Sacred Valley, rides to Moray, then drops to the Maras salt pans.

"Incredible experience!! Beautiful landscape and beautiful people. We were lucky to be guided by Vladimir, who with his lovely personality and amazing knowledge made this trip a great learning experience."
"All the tours I did (Machu, Humantay Lake, Rainbow Mountain, Sacred Valley) were spectacular!!! From picking me up at the hotel (always punctual and attentive, notifying about everything!) to the guides I had who were also excellent."
"I came to this agency by recommendation and, after traveling with them on two occasions, I can say that it was an excellent decision. I must highlight the professionalism of the guides, who made every tour very interesting and safe."
Everything we get asked about this package before people book.
Our trip data does not list a license requirement, and the ride starts with a 15-minute lesson from the instructor. Rules on age and licenses are set by the ATV operator, so we confirm them in writing when we answer your quote. Bring your passport on the day.
Yes. One ATV can carry two people, one driving and one as a passenger. It is a good choice for couples, for parents with an older child, or for anyone who wants the ride without handling the controls.
Morning. The 7:00 a.m. departure has calmer air, less dust and softer light on the salt pans, and you are back in Cusco in the early afternoon. The 1:00 p.m. slot works if you arrive in Cusco that morning, though the plateau gets windy later in the day.
Yes, both are included in the price, along with the ATV, helmet, instructor, guide and transport. Meals and the salt you buy at Maras are extra.
The tracks are flat to rolling dirt roads, ridden in line behind the instructor at a steady speed. The main risks are dust and keeping too close to the ATV in front. Follow the instructor's spacing, keep both hands on the bars and you will be fine.
