Quad Biking
Description
This Quad tour through the Andean highlands offers guaranteed adventure! The tour takes you off-road on small trails that allow you to explore the landscape of the Sacred Valley off the beaten track.
The Moray Inca ruins as well as the Maras salt mines are part of the tour. Together with your specialised guides you will cross the Andean highlands off-road and reach the archaeological site of Moray in the Sacred Valley. In these circular terraces the Inca experimented with different agricultural conditions for their crops. Furthermore, the tour will stop at the famous Maras salt mines, consisting of roughly 4000 pools where salt is harvested since Incan times.
An instruction and test ride with the Quad bikes is part of the tour. It is advisable that participants have had drivers lessons.
