    Must 1/2 day ATV trip to Moray and Maras in Sacred Valley

    Great trip- 1/2 day 4wheel tour through Sacred Valley to Moray archaeological site and back. Moray is a definite visit. Then after back at ATV base, a short van ride to Maras Salt Mines- also spectacular. We then had a brief stop at a local seller of Maras salt and chocolate with free tasting. We loved it. Traveling with family of 4 (58,57,24,22) with extensive adventure travel experience. Guides were thorough and kind, with a 10min to practice to make all feel comfortable. Highly recommend this trip and group. Bring layers, spf, sunglasses (and biking gloves would be nice).

    ATV Salt mines moray

    Great experience! Joel was great and even got some videos of us which I fully appreciate as I always want those! Took some good photos as well! Loved that it was a small group. Loved that we had an hour on the ATV on the way to Moray and also on the way back! Was so fun! Great teaching as well with the not automatic ATV! Salt place was cool. Very informational on tour and perfect timing of just six hours. Bonus of a salt shop to buy the salt and taste some chocolate. Again Joel was AWESOME! Thank you!!!

    Perfect Views for ATV

    I always loved Quad Biking but this ride was quite different, the views were amazingly worth it. 2 hours of quad biking, what else would I need hahaha.. Awesome experience, definitely going for it again.

    Maras and Moray ATV adventure in the Sacred Valley

    This tour operates just 25 minutes from Urubamba, or an hour from Cusco. Our English speaking guide Lisandro was professional, knowledgeable about the ruins and salt mines, and a good teacher for those that didn’t know how to ride atvs. We rode roughly 35 minutes to Moray, walked around the amphitheater, then rode back on gorgeous back roads with almost no cars at speeds of 20-30mph. My kids loved it. Then a van drove us to Maras salt mines 15 minutes away for a tour, and a stop at a salt and chocolate store that was not a tourist trap, but instead a fun tasting event where some people bought special black and pink salts, as well as chocolates from Peru. It was a great day and a steal at $40 per person. Just a heads up that you need to pay $20 to enter the moray ruins (ticket good for a week to up to 16 sites) and then another $6 to enter the salt mines. Worth every penny as an experience and to support the friendly and hard working local people of the sacred valley.

    ATV Adventure to Moray and Maras Salt Mines – Half Day: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

    How much does ATV Adventure to Moray and Maras Salt Mines – Half Day cost?

    +

    Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does ATV Adventure to Moray and Maras Salt Mines – Half Day take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.

    Is ATV Adventure to Moray and Maras Salt Mines – Half Day worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule ATV Adventure to Moray and Maras Salt Mines – Half Day?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is ATV Adventure to Moray and Maras Salt Mines – Half Day suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book ATV Adventure to Moray and Maras Salt Mines – Half Day?

    +

    Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does ATV Adventure to Moray and Maras Salt Mines – Half Day start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cusco?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cusco?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cusco?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in ATV Adventure to Moray and Maras Salt Mines – Half Day?

    +

    +

    Is ATV Adventure to Moray and Maras Salt Mines – Half Day wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
