Itinerary
Enjoy a refreshing twist on a classic Sacred Valley route with the Maras & Moray + Picnic Tour, perfect if you want culture, scenery, and a special outdoor moment. Visit Moray, an impressive set of circular terraces considered an Inca agricultural laboratory, where the Incas worked with microclimates and crops using advanced engineering. Then head to the famous Maras Salt Mines, a one-of-a-kind landscape made up of thousands of salt ponds used since pre-Inca times. To complete the experience, relax with a countryside picnic featuring local products while taking in panoramic views of the Andean valley.
We start with pick-up in Cusco and travel into the Sacred Valley toward Moray, an Inca agricultural laboratory where circular terraces reveal the civilization’s advanced engineering and agricultural knowledge. Your guide explains how the terraces helped cultivate different products adapted to various microclimates by taking advantage of changes in temperature and sun exposure. Next, we continue to Maras to visit the famous salt mines, a spectacular landscape of thousands of salt ponds used since pre-Inca times, where the traditional extraction method still continues through local families. During the route, we enjoy a countryside picnic with typical local products while soaking in majestic Andean valley views. Afterward, we return to Cusco in the afternoon (no exact time provided).
