Adventure seekers enjoy a convenient pickup from their Cusco hotel. From there, a vehicle transports you to the ATV base camp at Cruz Pata.

Your guides set you up with instructions on how to operate an ATV (either single or double based on your choice at checkout). Riding an ATV gives you access to sites in the Sacred Valley that are difficult to reach through a traditional tour. Travel a rugged trail through Andean villages to the colonial city of Maras, with rustic houses, stately mansions, and a church. Learn about the city's history through guided commentary before heading to a Moray archaeological site, where the Inca used the huge holes in the earth's surface to acclimatize seeds.

The last stop of the day is at the Maras Salt Mines to see the local people traditionally extract salt and learn about the importance of salt to the Peruvian economy from your guide.

2. Will I have problems with altitude sickness on this tour?

   Altitude sickness can catch many travelers a little bit off guard. Not everyone gets sick in high altitudes, and it is difficult to predict who is likely to be badly affected by it. For most people, it is nothing more than a headache and a dizzy sensation that diminishes over a short period of time, 1 to 2 days for most people. If you want to limit your chances of getting sick, there are a few things you can do. Firstly, do not fly directly into high altitude - proceed slowly, allowing your body time to acclimatize as you ascend gradually. However, for many that is not possible, so it’s important to drink lots of water, and to slow down! This sounds simple, but both of these things are very important. Your body is struggling because you don’t have enough oxygen, so avoiding any strenuous activity is a good idea. Chew some coca leaves - the native people of South America have been chewing coca for centuries, thanks to its ability to alleviate mild altitude sickness symptoms. Coca leaves can be bought in any supermarket, and even souvenir shops or street stalls. Take altitude sickness pills (Soroche): these are sold over the counter all over Peru and Bolivia and are just a few dollars. If you are flying straight into altitude over 2500 meters without spending any time at an intermediate elevation, and you’re worried about getting sick, you can ask your doctor for more specific and stronger altitude sickness medication in advance. In the rare case that your symptoms are more severe than a headache and mild dizziness, you should descend in altitude and seek medical assistance.
