Itinerary
Go off the beaten path and visit the traditional city of Maras where you will start your walk to the salt terraces of Maras (approx. 1 hour). Along the way marvel at the snow-capped Andean mountains and witness Cusco’s genuine countryside life. During the Inca times, the salt (which has curative properties by the way!) was extracted from the Maras mines and the same method to do so is still used today.
With the vehicle, you will continue to the community of Misminay from where you will start with a hike towards a viewpoint of the terraces of Moray. Surrounded by an impressive backdrop of snow-covered mountains, Moray served as an open-air agricultural lab for adapting crops to different environmental conditions.
After soaking up the impressive views of Moray, you will head back down to the community of Misminay where the ladies will welcome you. Enjoy a healthy and delicious meal prepared by the ladies of the community as you exchange stories with them. Your eventful day ends with a transfer back to your hotel in Cusco or the Sacred Valley.

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.
