Know Before You Go

Before joining the ATV Maras Moray Tour from Cusco, it is important to understand how the activity works and what conditions you can expect during the day. Although the tour lasts only half a day, the route combines ATV riding, archaeological sites and high-altitude Andean landscapes.

• No Previous ATV Experience Is Required
  First, you do not need previous ATV experience to join the tour. At the ATV base in Cruzpata, your instructor will explain the basic controls and safety procedures.
  Before starting the route, you will have a short practice session to become familiar with the quad bike. Once you are comfortable with the controls, you can begin the guided ride toward Moray.

• Expect Uneven Andean Terrain
  During the ATV ride, you will travel across rural Andean terrain that can include slopes, uneven surfaces and changing trail conditions.
  For this reason, follow your instructor’s directions, maintain a safe distance from other ATVs and adjust your speed to the terrain. In addition, remain attentive throughout the route, especially on uneven sections.

• Prepare for Changing Weather
  Because the route takes place in the Andes, weather conditions can change during the day. Therefore, bring a windbreaker and waterproof jacket or poncho, even if the morning starts clear.
  In addition, temperatures can feel cooler while riding because of wind exposure. For this reason, wearing layers will help you adjust to changing conditions throughout the excursion.

• Protect Yourself from Strong Sun Exposure
  At elevations above 3,000 meters, sun exposure can be intense. Therefore, use sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat or cap during the excursion.
  Moreover, remember that the combination of altitude and direct sunlight can increase sun exposure. As a result, proper sun protection is an important part of your preparation.

• Bring Cash for Entrance Fees
  Please note that entrance fees are not included in the tour price. Therefore, bring enough Peruvian soles to pay for the applicable tickets.
• The Maras Salt Mines entrance fee is S/ 20, according to the tour information provided. Additionally, the applicable Cusco Tourist Ticket is paid separately.

• Food and Drinks Are Not Included

  Since the tour returns to Cusco around lunchtime, carrying a small snack can help you stay comfortable throughout the excursion.

• Understand the Return Arrangement
  The tour begins with hotel pick-up in Cusco at approximately 6:30 AM. After visiting Moray and the Maras Salt Mines, transportation returns you to Plaza de Armas de Cusco, with an estimated arrival between 1:00 and 1:30 PM.
  As a result, the half-day schedule leaves you with the afternoon available for other activities in Cusco.
• Safety Comes First
