We will begin the tour at 8:15 a.m. with pickup from your hotel and travel by bus to the Urubamba Valley. Along the way, we will enjoy views of the magnificent Chicón Snow-Capped Mountain. Our first stop will be the picturesque village of Maras, where many houses still preserve their colonial style, and we will visit its beautiful church. Next, we will head to the Moray Archaeological Complex, which features a system of circular agricultural terraces believed to have been used by the Incas as an agricultural laboratory for crop experimentation. Finally, we will visit the Maras Salt Mines, a series of terraces formed by hundreds of white salt pools that resemble snow from a distance. During the colonial period, this site became one of the most important salt-producing centers in the southern highlands. The salt mines have been used for thousands of years, even long before the Inca Empire. We will return to the city of Cusco at approximately 2:30 p.m.

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.
