Itinerary
Be picked up from your accommodation and head to Cruz Pata, a tiny village where the quadbike adventure will begin. After a safety briefing, rev your engines and start off through the countryside to Moray, your first stop of the day. Look out over ancient Inca circular crop terraces and be amazed at the engineering developments of the ancient Inca. Connect with Mother Earth, (La Pachamama) and learn how the Andean culture lives in harmony with the nature that surrounds them.
Continue your ride to the “Salineras”, salt mines for a quick visit to see how local people make a living off of the salt that is produced here. Get free time to shop for souvenirs if you would like. Hop back on your 4x4 vehicle once again and make the return trip to Cruz Pata where you'll return your motorbike and equipment and then take a return transfer back to Cusco. Note: Return time is an approximate and afternoon tours may face some delay due to traffic going back to Cusco.

The quad bikes are q fun but we were railroaded around and only spent 20 minutes at the main attraction despite spending 70 Sol each to enter. We then were taken to a salt themed shop to be guilted to buy something. This was not appreciated and would have far rather spent more time at Inca place. Guide treated us like naughty children.
We booked a quad bike tour through a provider in Cusco. The tour went around a lake and then on by bus to the salt terraces in Maras. The quad tour took about 2 hours with instruction, with smaller stops to exit and take photos. We had almost all free lane, full throttle, long turns across and a very nice guide on the motorcycle, so the whole thing is fun. The tour was well organized. The entrance fee to Maras was 10 Soles and the tour itself cost us a fraction of what it is offered here. Those looking for variety after strenuous hikes, Salkantay and Rainbow Mountains are in the right place. You just can't be afraid of the quads, but you learn that right quickly.

<p>When we were supposed to go on that tour, there were some local strikes and roads were barricaded. The agency offered us a different tour instead, and it was very interesting. Cusco and sacred Valley are such beautiful places, that I am sure quadbike tour would have been a great experience!</p>
The guys running the tour were very professional, helpful and knew what they were talking about. I was very impressed with the area, salt mine and the tour.
<p>Great day out. On the day we had the option of either visiting an Inca site or see more of the countryside. We opted for the countryside route. It took us to a lake and through little villages. First time on a quadbike and it was incredible fun. Scenery was stunning. Guides on the day were great however one of the operators at Bamba HQ in Milhouse hostel who the tour was with was a little rude to me. Other than that, all was fantastic. Fun day out. Just bring clothes you don't mind getting covered in dust!</p>
<p>Tour was late picking us up, but still made it out and back on time. Our guide catered to our wishes, since we had already seen 4 archealogical sites, he recommended we go out to a lake for photos and the scenery. The salt mines were amazing, can't believe all the work that goes into making salt! You don't stay long at the mines but the draw is definitely riding the ATV through the country side with the beautiful Andes mountains in the background.</p>
<p>This tour was really good. We had a short practice on the 4wd bikes and then went for a site seeing ride. The salt works was interesting and we got to see beautiful landscapes. All safety equipment was provided. At the end we were able to enjoy some local beers. Very friendly staff.</p>
<p>Tour was okay. Did not get much information about sites visited. It was more a photo opportunity.</p>
<p>OMG! Unbelievable tour and guide. Beautiful scenery--great way to spend the day.</p>
<p>If you are looking for something a little adventurous while in Cusco this is the trip for you. It was a great way to see the valley and some of it's sights!</p>
