 OVERVIEW

Our half-day Sacred Valley ATV trip Maras Moray is designed to give you the best and most of the Sacred Valley’s two prominent locations. As you travel to Cusco and begin to acclimate before seeing Machu Picchu, this is one of the nicest activities you can do.

You will be riding through the Peruvian countryside on our brand new Quad Bikes, accompanied by a local expert, to visit the circular terraces of Moray and the Salt Mines of Maras.

Both Maras and Moray were important in the lives of the Incas. These are the most popular tourist attractions in the Sacred Valley of the Incas today.

Moray:

The circular agricultural terraces in Moray are reminiscent of the Roman amphitheatre. The terrace is a large, multi-leveled pit cut into the earth. The temperature is varied on each floor. In fact, the temperature on the terrace varies by 15 degrees Celsius from top to bottom.

Here, the Incas experimented with agricultural development conditions. This allowed them to figure out what temperature was ideal for growing vegetables and grains. Peru currently produces over 800 different potato types as a result of this.

Maras:

Maras is a lovely Andean town nestled among the snow-capped hills of the Andes. The salt mines, which are nestled on one side of a hill, are located here. Since pre-Incan culture, these geometrically designed salt pools have been employed to extract salts.

It is passed down through the generations. People still harvest salt using the classic solar evaporation process. They let the natural spring water to flow in and then wait for it to evaporate. They next scrape the salt out of the puddle by hand.

Maras salt is reddish in color and has a distinctive flavor. Locals claim that it is also nutrient-dense.
