DESCRIPTION
The adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel or Airbnb in Cusco, followed by a 45-minute drive in tourist transportation to our operations base in Cruzpata – Chequerec. First, upon arrival, our professional guides will provide a detailed safety briefing and technical instructions on how to operate the machines. To ensure a safe and fun experience, we will have a 10 to 15-minute practice session in an open field, allowing each participant to become familiar with the vehicle before officially starting the Huaypo Lagoon and Checoq ATV Tour.Next, we will hit the trails on our ATVs toward the Checoq archaeological center. This site is a hidden gem of the Sacred Valley that preserves significant agricultural terraces and stone storehouses from the Inca era. After exploring these historical remains and enjoying panoramic views of the Chicón and Verónica peaks, we will continue through rural paths toward the traditional village of Maras. Subsequently, we will reach the Tiobamba Temple, a beautiful 16th-century colonial church that stands as a historical landmark amidst the Andean farmlands, providing a perfect setting for professional photography.Finally, the adrenaline-filled journey will lead us to the breathtaking Huaypo Lagoon. This natural mirror of water is surrounded by vast fields of quinoa, potatoes, and corn, offering a peaceful atmosphere to connect with nature. You will have free time to explore the shore, learn about the local ecosystem, and capture the stunning reflections of the mountains in the water. Once the visit is over, we will return on the ATVs to the base in Cruzpata to board our private transport back to Cusco, ending the service near the city's main square.
