ITINERARY

Cusco - Pisac - Ollantaytambo - Moray - Maras Salt mines - Chinchero

We start this day adventure to the Sacred Valley with the pickup from your Accommodation in Cusco (Pickup from Ollantaytambo or Urubamba is not available). Pick-up time is very early – 6:30 am and you will visit the following sites:

  • Visit Ollantaytambo Ruins – One of the grandest Inca sites in the Sacred Valley, boasting Inca terraces, an otherworldly Temple of the Sun, a Water Temple with ceremonial fountains, and so much more.
  • Visit the amazing Inca Terraces of Moray, unique among the Inca sites in the Sacred Valley, believed to be an elaborate agricultural laboratory; each terrace has a unique micro-climate with which the Incas could determine the optimal growing conditions for different crops.
  • Visit the famous Salt Mines of Maras, where locals, since pre-Inca times, have obtained Salt by evaporating warm salty water from a local subterranean stream.
  • Around midday, we make a stop for a deserved lunch (not included and we recommend to bring a boxed lunch)
  • We also visit the Eastern side of the Sacred Valley, exploring Pisac Ruins, the most extensive archaeological sites in the Valley (it is even bigger than Machupicchu) You will be amazed by the stunning Incan farming terraces and the fort-like ruins of an Inkan village on the top of the Mountain. Whether or not to visit the Pisac Market is your choice, as it is an optional stop.
