We’ll pick you up at the Plaza de Armas around 8:30-8:40 a.m. at the entrance of the Cusco Cathedral in Cusco’s Plaza de Armas and head to Moray. During the 1 hour and 30-minute journey, you’ll enjoy incredible views of the entire valley, passing by the snow-capped peaks of the Andes Mountains, through lush yellow fields of wheat, and local villages. Upon arrival, our professional guide will show us the Moray archaeological site and explain more about its purpose and history. The agricultural terraces of Moray, deeply excavated into the ground in a bowl shape, were apparently used to experiment with optimal growing conditions.

Subsequently, we’ll head towards the Maras Salt Mines. The village of Maras is known as an ancient salt-producing center, dating back to colonial times. There are many salt ponds, all excavated on the mountainside, which are filled daily with a small stream of saltwater. The landscape there is incredible, with the salt ponds and the valley in the background, making it spectacularly beautiful. After this visit, we’ll return to Cusco and drop you off near the Plaza de Armas in Cusco.
