Places we will visit
- ●Huaypo Lagoon:
This beautiful natural lagoon is located between the towns of Chinchero and Maras, and is considered one of the most picturesque bodies of water in the Sacred Valley. From your ATV you can admire how the snow-capped mountains are reflected in its calm waters, surrounded by fields and open sky.

Here, you will also have time to learn briefly about the importance of lagoons in Andean worldview. - ●Tiobamba and its colonial church:
Tiobamba is a small traditional town near Maras. Its colonial church, built between the 16th and 17th centuries, stands out for its simplicity and beauty amid the Andean landscape. The temple, surrounded by nature and country houses, represents a fusion between Andean spirituality and the legacy of the Viceroyalty. Visiting Tiobamba allows you to discover a lesser-known part of the Sacred Valley, where ancestral customs and a deep respect for the sacred are still preserved. - ●Checoq Archaeological Center:

There you will find agricultural terraces, stone warehouses, and remains of ancient constructions, showing the organization and agricultural knowledge of the Incas. From its natural viewpoints, on clear days, you can see the Verónica and Chicón snow-capped mountains, and understand how the Incas integrated the landscape into their urban and spiritual planning. The guide will explain its history, uses, and functions within the Sacred Valley. - ●Scenic ATV route:
Throughout the tour you will experience an adventure on ATVs along rural roads, crossing pampas, hills, and small communities. This unique experience connects you with rural life in Cusco and allows you to explore landscapes far from traditional routes. While driving, you will see farmers working the land, shepherds guiding alpacas, and fields cultivated with potatoes, quinoa, and corn.
