About this experience
We start the tour with the pick-up from your hotel at the agreed time, and then we go on our transport for approximately 50 minutes to the town of Cruzpata. There we will conduct a 15-minute practice to familiarize each passenger with the quad bikes. Once the guide confirms that all the passengers are ready and without problems, we will start the tour with the four-wheelers to the experimental terraces of Moray. This journey, completely by motorbike, takes approximately 2 hours, starting from Cruzpata and then returning to Cruzpata.
Next, we will go towards Maras, Salineras or salt mines by tourist transport this for safety measures, to avoid accidents in the salt flat and the descent that presents a chasm. During this tour, you will appreciate the majestic snowfalls of Veronica and Chicón, accompanied by a magical landscape in contact with nature and some inhabitants of the area.
