What's Included

Important Altitude Information

This experience takes place in the Andean highlands and reaches approximately 3,762 meters (12,343 feet) above sea level in Chinchero.

The ATV ride and cultural visits require minimal physical effort. However, due to the altitude and changing mountain weather, we recommend wearing comfortable layered clothing and staying hydrated throughout the day.

Availability & Operations

Recommended Season (May – October)

The dry season offers excellent conditions for ATV riding, with firmer trails, clear skies, and exceptional views across the Sacred Valley.

Rainy Season (November – April)

The experience continues to operate during the rainy season, when the landscapes become lush and vibrant, offering a different perspective of the Andean countryside.

Due to seasonal rainfall, we recommend bringing waterproof clothing, an extra change of clothes, and appropriate footwear for wet conditions. In the event of heavy rain, certain sections of the route may be completed by private vehicle for safety reasons.
