Why Travelers Choose Our Ollantaytambo ATV Tour

Most visitors spend at least one night in Ollantaytambo before boarding the train to Machu Picchu or immediately after returning from the citadel. However, many adventure tours still require travelers to return to Cusco before the experience even begins. Our Ollantaytambo ATV Tour was created to solve that problem. Instead of wasting valuable vacation time on unnecessary transfers, your adventure starts exactly where you are already staying. We collect you directly from your hotel or the train station, take you to our ATV base, and guide you through some of the most spectacular landscapes in the Sacred Valley.

Whether you’re continuing to Cusco after the tour or returning to your hotel in Ollantaytambo, our flexible logistics make the entire experience simple, comfortable, and stress free.

A Scenic Adventure Designed Around Your Journey

Unlike standard ATV tours that begin in Cusco, this experience has been carefully designed for travelers already staying in Ollantaytambo. Whether you are arriving from Machu Picchu or preparing for your train journey, every part of the tour is planned to fit naturally into your itinerary while giving you more time to explore the Sacred Valley.

Private Pickup in Ollantaytambo

Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel, Airbnb, or the Ollantaytambo train station. After meeting your private guide, you’ll travel comfortably through the Sacred Valley while enjoying spectacular mountain scenery and traditional Andean villages on the way to our ATV base.

Safety Briefing and Practice Ride

Before setting off, your guide provides a complete safety briefing and explains how to operate your automatic quad bike. After receiving your helmet and protective equipment, you’ll enjoy a short practice session in a safe area until you feel completely confident.

Ride Through the Sacred Valley

Once the adventure begins, leave the paved roads behind and follow exclusive countryside trails surrounded by mountains, farmland, and breathtaking panoramic views. Unlike traditional sightseeing tours, riding a quad bike allows you to experience the Sacred Valley from a completely different perspective, following quiet rural roads where local communities continue their daily life surrounded by the Andes.

Discover the Inca Terraces of Moray

Your first major stop is Moray, one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in Peru. These enormous circular terraces are believed to have been an agricultural research center where the Incas experimented with different crops by creating multiple microclimates within a single site.

Visit the Famous Maras Salt Mines

After returning to the base, continue by private vehicle to the spectacular Maras Salt Mines. More than 4,000 white salt pools cover the mountainside, creating one of the most iconic landscapes in the Sacred Valley, local families have harvested salt here for centuries using traditional methods that remain virtually unchanged today.

Flexible Drop off That Fits Your Travel Plans

Unlike many ATV tours that require a return to Cusco, this experience ends wherever it makes the most sense for your itinerary.

Choose the option that best suits your travel plans:

• Return to your hotel in Ollantaytambo.
• Continue directly to your accommodation in Cusco.
• Arrange another drop-off location within the Sacred Valley in advance.

Plan Your Adventure

Best Time to Join

The Ollantaytambo ATV Tour operates throughout the year. However, the dry season from April to October usually offers sunny skies, excellent trail conditions, and the clearest mountain views. During the rainy season, the Sacred Valley becomes greener, creating equally beautiful landscapes with fewer visitors.

What to Wear

We recommend comfortable outdoor clothing, closed-toe shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a lightweight waterproof jacket. Temperatures in the Andes can change quickly, especially during the afternoon.

Altitude

Since the tour takes place at high altitude, spending at least one day acclimatizing in Cusco or the Sacred Valley before riding is recommended. Fortunately, driving an ATV requires far less physical effort than hiking, making this experience an excellent option while adjusting to the altitude.

Photography

Moray, the Maras Salt Mines, and the surrounding Andean landscapes offer some of the best photography opportunities in the Sacred Valley. Bringing a camera or smartphone is highly recommended to capture the scenery throughout the journey.

Who Is This Tour Perfect For?

This private experience is especially recommended for:

✔ Travelers staying in Ollantaytambo

✔ Visitors before or after Machu Picchu

✔ Couples looking for a personalized adventure

✔ Families seeking a comfortable outdoor activity

✔ Friends traveling together

✔ First-time ATV riders

✔ Experienced quad bike enthusiasts

✔ Photography lovers

✔ Travelers who prefer exclusive experiences over large group tours

Because the route is designed for easy riding, most beginners quickly gain confidence after the practice session. However, the experience may not be suitable for travelers with serious mobility limitations or anyone uncomfortable operating a motorized vehicle.
