Itinerary

This exciting half-day tour will allow you to explore a unique part of the Sacred Valley. You will enjoy stunning views of the Urubamba Mountains, including the majestic Veronica Mountain, and the green valleys dotted with farms. During this trip, you will learn about agriculture, textiles, and the fascinating history of the Incas.

We will pick you up from your hotel around 8am and head first to the agricultural laboratory of Moray. The drive, which takes about an hour and twenty minutes, offers views of the snow-capped peaks of the Andes, vast golden fields of wheat and charming local villages. In Moray, you will explore the impressive amphitheater-shaped terraces, which the Incas used to experiment with different crops in varied microclimates.

After exploring Moray, we will continue to the famous Maras salt mines, located about two miles away. This town has been known since pre-Incan times for its salt production, with more than 3,000 wells carved into the mountainside and filled daily by a stream of water. This unique area offers a spectacular visual experience, perfect for those looking for something different from the archaeological complexes.

Nuestra última parada será en Chinchero, un pintoresco pueblo andino situado a 3,762 metros sobre el nivel del mar, en las llanuras ventosas de Anta, a unos 30 km de Cusco. Desde aquí, disfrutará de vistas panorámicas del Valle Sagrado de los Incas, con la imponente Cordillera Vilcabamba y el majestuoso pico nevado de Salkantay en el horizonte occidental. Chinchero es conocido como el lugar mítico de nacimiento del arco iris y es famoso por su mercado dominical, mucho menos turístico que el de Pisac, pero igualmente encantador. Si su visita no coincide con los días de mercado, podrá visitar un centro textil más pequeño que opera todos los días y ofrece demostraciones de tejido de suéteres naturales de lana de alpaca. Finalmente, explorará la histórica iglesia católica romana, construida sobre un antiguo palacio inca.

Tras estas fascinantes visitas, regresaremos a la ciudad a tiempo para que pueda disfrutar de un almuerzo por su cuenta.
