Destacados

This full day tour will give you the opportunity to explore the less visited colonial town of Maras, Inca ruins of Moray, and unique Pre-Inca salt mines of Salineras. Maras and Moray are areas where the Incas cultivated different products, such as potatoes and corn, and you will also see evidence of coca leaf horticulture. These sites are well worth visiting as you will experience first-hand the remarkable Incan engineering and their unique agricultural techniques, such as drainage systems that continue to function to this day. The salt mines or “Salineras” was a very important place for Peru´s ancestors and remains a significant locale for surrounding communities. The salt pools have been passed down from generation to generation and are still to this day maintained by a community, who cultivate the salt and prepare it for purchase. In addition, on this tour you will see fascinating views of local agricultural terrain and the Andes across the valley.

About Cusco

Cusco, antigua capital inca en los Andes peruanos, combina imponentes muros de piedra e iglesias coloniales y es la puerta de Machu Picchu.

La Plaza de Armas es el corazón de la ciudad, enmarcada por la catedral y la iglesia jesuita de La Compañía. La cantería inca sobrevive por todo el centro, sobre todo en el Qorikancha, el templo del sol sobre el que los españoles construyeron un convento, y en la piedra de los doce ángulos de la calle Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, el barrio de los artesanos, sube con fuerte pendiente entre talleres y cafés.

Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
