From a high Andean lake to the floor of the Sacred Valley, past the Inca agricultural laboratory of Moray and the salt pans of Maras.

Red dirt, wind and open sky: one of the most photographed landscapes in Peru, covered effortlessly thanks to the motor.
After the transfer from Urubamba to Lake Huaypo, we ride wide tracks and gentle plains to the village of Cruzpata, with the Chicón and Verónica peaks on the horizon.
The route continues to the Inca site of Moray (3,500 m), the high point of the day, then on to Maras village and down to the Maras Salt Mines, thousands of salt pans hanging off the ravine and still worked by the same families since pre-Inca times. The finale is the descent through the canyon to the village of Pichingoto (2,800 m), on the banks of the Urubamba river.
