2. Moray is one of Cusco’s most unique archaeological sites. Its distinctive circular terraces descend into the earth like an amphitheater, creating microclimates that the Incas are believed to have used for agricultural experimentation. This remarkable site reflects the depth of Inca knowledge and their ability to adapt farming to the challenges of the Andean landscape.

   50 min

3. The Maras Salt Mines are a striking sight, with hundreds of salt terraces cascading down a mountainside. Used since Inca times, these pools are part of a traditional and sustainable way of harvesting salt from the natural springs that flow through the area. The contrast between the bright white pools and the surrounding landscape creates an unforgettable view and a living connection to the ancestral practices of the Andes.

   45 min

4. Ollantaytambo is a historic treasure that blends impressive Inca ruins with the charm of a living town. Known for its archaeological complex and imposing terraced temple, it once served as both a ceremonial and strategic center during Inca times. Its cobblestone streets and colonial buildings add a picturesque touch, while the surrounding mountains frame this site offering a true window into the grandeur of the Inca past.

About Cusco

Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.

The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
