Stop At: Salinas de Maras, Carreta a Maras Urubamba, Maras 00051 Peru

The tour starts with a visit to the Colonial town of Maras and its church. We will then visit the ancient salt pans, strategically dug into the mountainside, thousands of shallow pools filled with salt water eventually evaporate and leave behind the crystallized salt, a process that has been practiced for more than 500 years.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Moray Agricultural Terraces, A 12 Km del poblado Cruzpata, Maras 08655 Peru

Moray is an archaeological site located approximately 4.5 miles from the town of Maras and 39 miles from Cusco. Its most impressive feature is its system of circular agricultural terraces, which are up to 330 feet deep. Some people believe that the Incas used this place as a kind of laboratory to determine the optimal conditions for growing crops of each species.

Duration: 1 minute

Stop At: Archaeological Park Ollantaytambo, Ollantaytambo 08676 Peru

We will visit Ollantaytambo, an ancient Inca temple and fortress,, located at the northwestern end of the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Pisac Peru

We will visit the stunning ruins of Pisac and its colourful local market.
An incredible site with relatively small number of tourists visiting daily. This place has different buildings such as plazas, temples, pools and other structures, that were constructed between the 10th and 11th centuries AD. We highly recommend reserving several hours to explore this site.
The Inca architecture is impressive as they used their techniques to build enormous terraces which go from south to east covering a huge mountain located from 3,000-3,450 masl (9,843 - 11,319 fasl). Its palaces and the way the stone blocks have been placed is truly incredible.


Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Complejo Arqueologico Chinchero, Chinchero Peru

The small town of Chinchero is located about 18 miles from Cusco city with wonderful views of the Urubamba mountain range. Not many people visit it but it sure has a lot of interesting spots you wouldn’t want to miss such as: great Inca ruins (aqueducts and terraces and Inca stone work), a church built by the Spaniards that dates from the 1600s on top of what used to be the remains of an Inca palace. Its main and most unique attraction is probably the weaving demonstrations. Local talented women dressed in their traditional clothes will explain step by step how they produce different colours for the wool they use to make their beautiful textiles as well as how they get them washed with natural products. You can buy some of their products at the end of their demonstration if you’d like.
