Day 1: Maras and Moray with Machu Picchu Tour – Sacred Valley Highlights
Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Cusco into the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Each stop reveals a new side of Peru’s incredible history and landscape.
Moray – The Inca Agricultural Laboratory
First, visit Moray, a stunning archaeological site formed by circular terraces. Historians believe the Incas used these structures to test crops at different temperatures and altitudes. As you walk around the site, you’ll see how creative and advanced Inca engineering truly was.
Maras Salt Mines – The White Wonder of the Andes
Afterward, continue to the Maras Salt Mines, a dazzling network of over 3,000 salt ponds carved into a mountain slope. Since pre-Inca times, families have harvested salt here using natural spring water. Today, they continue this beautiful tradition. Moreover, the contrast of white pools against the red cliffs makes for unforgettable photos.
Chinchero – Textiles, Culture, and Living Tradition
Next, visit Chinchero, a colorful Andean village famous for its textiles and market. Here, local weavers demonstrate ancient techniques using natural dyes. You’ll also explore the colonial church built on Inca walls and the Chinchero Archaeological Site, where the past and present blend perfectly.
Finally, travel to Ollantaytambo for an overnight stay, preparing for your Machu Picchu visit the next morning.
