Maras Moray ATV Tour from Ollantaytambo

Moray Salt Ponds Huaypo Lagoon

Discover the Sacred Valley of the Incas from a different perspective with our Sacred Valley ATV Tour from Ollantaytambo, a full-day experience created for travelers looking to enjoy the beauty of the Andes through a more relaxed, personalized, and comfortable adventure.

We believe an ATV experience should be about enjoying the journey, not simply riding as fast as possible. That is why we keep our ATV experience private and relaxed, with a comfortable pace and personalized attention throughout the ride. Rather than focusing on speed or an extreme adventure, we want you to enjoy the countryside, appreciate the landscapes, and feel comfortable throughout the route.

Our ATV route is intentionally different from the routes that take travelers directly to Moray. We do not ride ATVs to Moray because the roads approaching the archaeological site can have considerable vehicle traffic, creating a busier riding environment. Instead, we have chosen a quieter countryside route where you can enjoy the ATV experience with less traffic and a more peaceful atmosphere. This allows us to provide a more intimate and private experience while keeping our guests away from busier roads during the ATV portion of the tour.

During the ride, Huaypo Lagoon is one of the scenic highlights along the route, allowing you to admire the lake and its surrounding Andean landscapes as part of the ATV journey.

After the ATV experience, Moray and the Maras Salt Mines are visited by private transportation. This gives you the opportunity to explore these important cultural attractions comfortably without having to ride an ATV through busier roads to reach them.

Looking for a more personal way to experience the Sacred Valley? You are in the right place. Join us for a private ATV adventure designed around comfort, beautiful landscapes, and an experience you can truly enjoy at your own pace.

Quick Itinerary

Itinerary

We start our tour of Maras Salt Mines and Moray at approximately 8am, our English speaking guide will pick you up from your hotel in Ollantaytambo and then drive to the town of Maras, on the drive you will enjoy the scenic landscape of the Sacred Valley and the snow-capped peaks of the Peruvian Andes.

Finally, we will get to the fascinating display of terraces at Moray. It is believed that these terraces, dug into the earth in the shape of a bowl, served to determine the optimal conditions for crops.

When you finish visiting Moray, you will head about three kilometers away, to the salt mines of Maras, an ancient salt-producing center. There are more than 6,000 salt pools carved into the mountainside, which are filled daily with a stream of water. This place is perfect for you if you want to see something other than the ruins.

Great value and great service

The tour was great and the organisation was immaculate. The driver and guide were very polite, punctual and informative, the process was easy and the tour operator had a briefing call with us to give us all the timings. They also printed out all tickets for us which made every step go smoothly.

Amazing experience and great staff!

I can not say enough positive things to encapsulate how amazing this company is. They were so communicative and helpful for our trip. We started out in Cusco and they did a private pickup to/from the train station. Coordinated our entry tickets and a private guide for Machu Picchu. Carlos was our planner and walked us through every step and answered every question.

Amazing, well planned trip to Machu Picchu

Our group of 5 did a one day trip to Machu Picchu with pickup from Sacred Valley and drop off in Cusco. Carlos helped us tremendously in organizing the schedule and all needed tickets, and he checked up on us throughout the day to ensure we didn't have any problems. Carlos was extremely responsive and quick to answer any questions, and made us feel comfortable that the trip would go as planned. Our driver Alex and Machu Picchu tour guide Anibal were also excellent.

A 10: friendly, effective, and professional

Very happy from all points of view. Super well organized, a support at all times for any necessary organizational detail (we were a large group coming from many countries, which made it not easy), the explanations and the tour itself were very complete, and the guides were extremely friendly. I would definitely recommend them.

Machu Picchu with Family

Very good communication for coordinating the tour, competitive price, the guides were very good and fun.

Amazing experience – Highly recommended!

Julio from Come See Peru helped us organize an incredible and truly unforgettable trip. I am German and got married in Peru, so I wanted to bring my friends and family to discover how wonderful this country is. Thanks to Julio and his team, everything was perfectly organized from beginning to end. They took care of every detail and made sure everyone felt welcome, comfortable, and well looked after. Even today, my family and friends still talk about the amazing memories they made during this trip. Visiting Machu Picchu is always a unique and magical experience, but being welcomed with such warmth and genuine care made it even more special. The team was always attentive, making sure everyone was happy and felt at home. Thank you, Julio and the entire Come See Peru team, for making this journey so memorable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and caring travel agency in Peru.

Excellent service!

The guide was punctual, very attentive, friendly, and provided us with all the information.
