ATV Itinerary to the Morada de los Dioses and Fortaleza Aqueduct

We begin with pick-up from accommodations located in the historic center of Cusco (if your accommodation is in an area with narrow streets, you will be advised to meet at a nearby point with authorized vehicle access for tourist transport). We then travel by vehicle for approximately 20 minutes until we reach the operations base. There, our guides welcome the group and provide a safety briefing about the activity, explaining the inherent risks of this adventure sport. Before starting, participants sign a liability waiver.

After the explanation, we do a short practice with the ATVs to get familiar with how they operate. We then begin the 15 km round-trip route, during which we will visit the Morada de los Dioses and the Acueducto Fortaleza. At both sites, we will have free time to take photos

At the end of the adventure, we will return to Cusco, concluding the tour at Plaza Regocijo.
