    Itinerary

    We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at the scheduled time and begin our journey toward Chinchero, located about 40 minutes away. Here, we’ll stop to admire its beautiful colonial church, built in the 17th century and considered one of the earliest Catholic buildings constructed in Peru.

    Our next stop will be Moray, a fascinating archaeological site known for its circular terraces. These terraces were used by the Incas as an agricultural laboratory, where they carried out cultivation experiments at different altitudes and microclimates.

    Continuing our journey through the Sacred Valley, we’ll arrive at Maras Salt Mines to admire the famous salt terraces. This impressive complex consists of more than 3,000 salt pools fed by a natural underground spring and surrounded by fascinating local legends that date back to ancient times.

    Afterward, we’ll head to Urubamba, where we’ll arrive around midday feeling hungry. Here you’ll enjoy a delicious Andean buffet lunch, or if you prefer, you’ll have free time to explore the town and choose a restaurant on your own.

    With renewed energy, we’ll continue to Ollantaytambo, one of the most impressive towns in the Sacred Valley. We’ll stroll through its charming cobblestone streets and admire the remarkable Inca architecture, including its ceremonial temple and ancient terraces.

    Finally, we’ll visit Pisac Archaeological Park, one of the most important archaeological sites in the valley. Here we’ll explore the impressive ruins and learn about the fascinating history and legends of the Inca civilization.

    After approximately 12.5 hours of adventure, we’ll return to Plaza de Armas, where the tour will come to an end.

    Schedule: Monday to Sunday at 6:20 am.
