Inclusions

Itinerary

1. The Inka site of Moray is the first place we visit in this exclusive tour. According to researchers, the circular terraces in Moray served as a center for agricultural experimentation, as each level offered different climactic conditions and allowed for different plants to be cultivated experimentally.

2. The stunning landscape of Salineras de Maras features salt pans that are still used exactly as they were at the time of the Incas. As you make your way through the region, you’ll see people doing the backbreaking work of harvesting salt on small family plots. The reward? The salt gathered here is some of the best in the world.

   1 h

3. Puka Textile Museum is an entertaining and culturally-rich stop. This popular artisan outpost is a great place to experience alpacas and Andean culture. Visitors can marvel with the colorful textiles they spin using alpacas fiber and natural dies

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.
