Sacred Valley Tour with Maras and Moray Itinerary
The day begins with a hotel pick-up in Cusco, ensuring a smooth start to your adventure.
First, we visit Chinchero, a charming Andean village. Here, you’ll step into a traditional Quechua home and learn about centuries old weaving techniques. Then, we’ll explore Chinchero’s archaeological site, where your guide will explain its importance in Inca history. Afterward, we continue toward Maras and Moray, two of the Sacred Valley’s most remarkable locations.
At Moray Inca ruins, you’ll admire the circular agricultural terraces that the Incas once used as a farming laboratory. Clearly, this sophisticated structure demonstrates their advanced knowledge of microclimates and crop science.
The Salt Mines of Maras: A Timeless Tradition
Following Moray, the tour continues to the Salt Mines of Maras, a network of over 3,000 salt pans carved into the mountainside. Interestingly, these salt pools are still in use today, relying on a natural saltwater spring, just as they did during the Inca period.
In addition, this stop is ideal for photos and a highlight of any Salt Mines of Maras tour, giving you the chance to witness traditions that remain alive in the Andes.
Enjoy Lunch Before Visiting Ollantaytambo
Next, we’ll pause for a delicious buffet lunch at a local restaurant in the Sacred Valley. Because of its authentic flavors, this meal is the perfect way to recharge before the final part of your journey.
Then, we visit Ollantaytambo, an impressive Inca fortress famous for its massive terraces and ceremonial temples. In particular, the Temple of the Sun stands out as a masterpiece of ancient architecture. Furthermore, because of its importance, this Ollantaytambo fortress tour is a must do before heading to Machu Picchu.
