We pick you up from your hotel at 9 am and it ends at 3 pm. It´s one of the
most popular tours in Cusco , we visit two very important tourist attractions in
the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The first place that we go to visit is Chinchero
where we will see a textile exhibition by the local women , this is part of the
local traditions. Then we will go to the second archaelogical place… Moray
where you will get all the information from our tour guide and free time for
pictures…after that we go to Maras to taste all kind of salt from the salt
mines especially the salty chocolate, finally we go to Salineras (salt mines)
to enjoy that beautiful landscape.
MORAY: This tourist attraction is very important because they are the only circular terraces we have in Peru. Here you can see four circular agricultural terraces that were made in the Inca period in which they were used to create microclimates and generate different temperatures in them, and be able to obtain the best quality of Andean agricultural products. These circular terraces also show us the skill of the Inca engineers in the construction of irrigation channels and transportation of water to each terrace, all this spectacle is surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the eastern mountain range of the Andes.
MARAS: It is a beautiful town located in the upper parts of the sacred valley of the Incas which is inhabited by approximately 600 families who are the owners of the salt mines that has the same name as the town. Here you can see that each house has its colonial stone façades, which show us that at one point in its history it was a place of great commercial activity. We will have the opportunity to try and taste the different varieties of salt produced by the Maras salt mines.
SALT MINES: It is a beautiful natural attraction located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, where you can enjoy more than 2000 salt water pools that we have in that place. The use of the salt mine has been used in this place since pre-Inca and Inca times and until today, the technique used to harvest salt is by evaporation of water and this happens just in the season of the year that It is very hot (April – October).
