Your tour begins with pickup from your hotel in Cusco’s city center at around 8:00 a.m. From there, we will travel by tourist transport toward the Sacred Valley, enjoying beautiful views of Andean landscapes, farmlands, mountains, and traditional villages along the way.
Our first visit will be Moray, one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in the region. This place is famous for its circular terraces, which were used by the Incas as an agricultural experimentation center. Your guide will explain the importance of Moray and how the Incas adapted crops to different microclimates.
After visiting Moray, we will continue toward the colonial town of Maras, known for its traditional streets, history, and beautiful views of the surrounding valley. Then, we will visit the Maras Salt Mines, an impressive site made up of thousands of salt ponds that are still used by local families today.
After exploring the salt mines and taking photos, we will return to Cusco by tourist transport. The tour ends near the city center or at your hotel if you booked a private service, at approximately 2:00 p.m.
