Itinerary
This charming Andean village retains colonial architecture and traditions that have endured for centuries. Maras was an important area during the Viceroyalty and still today preserves its 16th century church and cobblestone streets. It is the point of connection between Moray and the Salineras, and a perfect place to get to know Andean rural life.
Moray is one of the most enigmatic centers of the Inca legacy. Its circular amphitheater-shaped terraces were designed to experiment with microclimates and agricultural techniques.
Made up of more than 3,000 pools of salt, these pre-Inca salt pans are still active today. The inhabitants of Maras continue to extract salt in the traditional way, using the salt water emanating from a natural spring. The panoramic view of the white terraces descending the mountain is simply unique. A perfect place to take pictures and learn about one of the oldest activities in the Sacred Valley.
Throughout the tour you will enjoy breathtaking views of the Peruvian Andes, fertile, snow-capped valleys like Veronica and fields cultivated by local communities. Eye contact with nature makes this tour an unforgettable experience.

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