Available Tour Options

Upon booking, you can select from several options. All choices include hotel pickup in Cusco at a time you prefer and a drop-off at Plaza de Armas six hours later.

Moray & Maras Salt Mines Tour (6 Hours)

Prepare for an exhilarating experience! We will travel by minibus to the community of Cruz Pata, located centrally within the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Once there, an introductory briefing on safety protocols will precede our quad biking adventure.

Our quad tour will begin with a visit to the Inca site of Moray, where the circular terraces reveal the legacy of an ancient civilization. Next, we will venture to the Maras Salt Mines, which present breathtaking vistas of the Urubamba mountain range alongside the snow-capped summits of Verónica and Chicón. This distinct landscape features wells measuring 5 meters in diameter that are set within the mountains, offering a truly remarkable sight!

Huaypo Lagoon & Maras Salt Mines Tour (6 Hours)

If you opt for this adventure, we’ll first explore the

Huaypo Lagoon, a picturesque location deep in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Riding on quads, we’ll traverse the area and appreciate its rich wildlife and plant life while uncovering the local history and folklore. Fascinatingly, this region is also known for UFO sighting legends.

Following our time at the lagoon, we’ll proceed to the Maras Salt Mines, where stunning views of the Vilcanota River await before we return to Cusco.

Morada de los Dioses Tour (2 Hours)

After picking you up from your Cusco hotel, we’ll make a brief 15 to 20-minute journey to the base of Ticatica. There, we will receive a quick safety rundown for quad biking to ensure a secure outing. Following this, everyone will enjoy a 40-minute ride filled with excitement!

Soon enough, we’ll arrive at "El Apukunaq Tianan" or Morada de los Dioses. This extraordinary venue, which translates to "the Dwellings of the Gods", showcases statues depicting Incan and Andean deities that rise up to 8 meters (26 feet) tall. This open-air sculpture gallery provides ample opportunities for exploration and photography before we head back to the base and then to Cusco.

Morada de los Dioses + Piuray Lagoon Tour (3 Hours)

Your adventure commences with your pickup from your Cusco hotel, followed by our trip to the base of Ticatica. After a brief introduction to quad safety, we will embark on an exhilarating ride through the historical Sacred Valley of the Incas.

Our journey is a total of 50 kilometers (31 miles) round-trip, with the first stop being the Morada de los Dioses, reached within 40 minutes. We will then continue to Piuray Lagoon, known for its deep blue hues that mirror the expansive Andean sky, creating an idyllic natural retreat!

After concluding our visit, we’ll return to the base and take you back to Cusco.
