The Maras, Moray, and Salineras Tour is one of the most popular excursions in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. In half a day, you will visit three of Cusco’s most impressive attractions: the traditional town of Chinchero, the mysterious circular terraces of Moray, and the famous Maras Salt Mines, a unique landscape made up of thousands of salt pans used since Inca times.
08:00 AM – Hotel pickup and departure to Chinchero
Our team will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco to begin the journey toward the Sacred Valley along a scenic route. Along the way, we will enjoy beautiful Andean landscapes until we reach the traditional town of Chinchero.
09:10 AM – Visit to the Chinchero Textile Center
We will explore one of the most important weaving communities in Cusco, where local artisans will show us the traditional process of spinning, dyeing with natural pigments, and weaving garments using techniques inherited from the Incas.
10:00 AM – Exploration of the Moray Archaeological Site
We will continue to Moray to explore its impressive circular terraces. Our guide will explain the theories regarding its function as an Inca agricultural laboratory, where they experimented with different crops thanks to its varied microclimates.
11:20 AM – Visit to the Maras Salt Mines (Salineras)
Our next stop will be one of the most surprising landscapes in the Sacred Valley: the famous Maras Salt Mines. We will walk along the viewpoints to appreciate more than 3,000 salt pans fed by a natural underground spring. Our guide will explain how this extraction system continues to be used by local families since pre-Inca and Inca times.
01:00 PM – Return to Cusco
After enjoying the Salt Mines, we will begin our return journey to the city of Cusco, traveling through the beautiful landscapes of the Sacred Valley once again.
