really friendly guide. picked up at our hotel. about 2 hours drive because of the traffic on a public holiday. explanations of how to drive a quad before departure. quad tour to Moray, allow 70s for access. then the shuttle takes us to the salt flats of Maras, 20s. explanations and purchases for those who wish. return to cusco with the same shuttle. very well organized

Excellent. We went in Morey by quad, it has been a very nice experience with a very professional guide (just remember to bring something that you can get dirty because a lot of dirt comes in). Then we went by car to visit Maras salt pans that are incredible and the guide gave us a lot of details.

Fantastic trip, lots to see and learn, I loved it. Tour guide was great, everything was well organized and as promised. Just be sure to be fit, as we were walking and climbing (step!) a lot every day. Recommended if you can endure the climbing.

Absolutely amazing experience. Well worth the money. My guide Gustavo west the best. Funny, knowledgeable and very inclusive.

The pick up and drop off was good, you four wheel for about an hour total. Great and simple instructions to feel comfortable!
