13.Cuzco: Salt Mines and Moray Ruins ATV Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 15 reviews · 6 hours · from $38

You’ll ride a single or shared ATV through the Cusco countryside, visit the Maras Salt Mines and Moray terraces with an English or Spanish-speaking guide, and learn how Incan farming used the high Andes. The six-hour tour includes Cusco pickup, but not entry tickets, meals, or hotel drop-off.

“The day did not follow the itinerary outlined in the activity details. The description stated that the ATV excursion included riding the ATV to both the salt mines and the Moray Inca ruins. However, we only rode to the Moray Inca ruins. I specifically selected this excursion because it advertised riding the ATV to both locations. Had we known that the ATV ride was only to the Moray site, I would have chosen a different ATV tour offering the same experience at a lower price.”
