Your Itinerary
Inca Engineering and Dazzling Landscapes
We begin our tour with direct pickup from your hotel to begin the journey to the spectacular route of the Sacred Valley. On the way, we will have a small and picturesque stop in the town of Maras, famous for preserving its colonial façades, and then head to the impressive archaeological and agricultural center of Moray. Here, you will be amazed by the enormous concentric circular terraces that, according to historians, functioned as an advanced and sophisticated Inca botanical laboratory.
Finishing our exploration in Moray, we will continue with a visit to the famous salt mines or "Salineras" of Maras. It is an astonishing complex of thousands of stepped pools carved into the mountainside, fed by an underground spring, creating a dazzling white landscape exploited since pre-Inca times.
Once this dazzling landscape visit is over, we will go to the archaeological center of Chinchero, a town recognized worldwide for its living culture, its textile mastery and its beautiful colonial church built directly on imposing Inca foundations. After soaking up history and tradition, we will take our tourist transportation to return comfortably to the city of Cusco, arriving at approximately 2:30 p.m.
