2 DAYS Huchuy Qosqo Trek Embark on a transformative journey…
Join Inca Path Peru for a captivating half-day tour of the Sacred Valley, visiting the ancient sites of Maras, Moray, and the Salt Mines. The adventure begins at Moray, an archaeological wonder with terraced circular depressions used by the Incas for agricultural experiments. These terraces showcase the Incas’ advanced understanding of microclimates, allowing them to optimize crop growth, and provide stunning photographic opportunities.
The tour continues to the Maras Salt Mines, where thousands of salt pools cascade down a hillside, creating a striking mosaic. These ancient salt pans, still in use today, highlight the ingenious methods of salt extraction developed by the Incas. The tour concludes in the charming village of Maras, where you can explore traditional textile markets and immerse yourself in the local Andean culture.
We will pick you up from your hotel between 8:00 a.m. and 8:20 a.m. to visit the Sacred Valley of the Incas and the village of Maras, known for its colonial-era church and photogenic saltpans. You’ll explore the Maras salt pools, which have been used for salt extraction since Pre-Inca times, and the impressive Moray archaeological complex with its circular structures for crop experimentation. The tour concludes with a return to Cusco at 2:00 p.m.
