Discover the cultural and natural wealth of the Sacred Valley of the Incas on our tour to Maras, Moray and the Salineras de Maras. We will begin by exploring Moray, a unique archaeological complex consisting of circular terraces that the Incas used to experiment with different crops. Then, we will head to the Salineras de Maras, where you can marvel at the thousands of salt terraces that have been used since pre-Inca times. Finally, we will visit the picturesque town of Maras and its colonial church. Immerse yourself in the history and natural beauty of this region with our comprehensive and exciting tour.
- Our transportation service will visit you at your hotel between 8:00 and 8:30 am. To take you to the starting point of the tour, we will begin by visiting Moray, located 38 km from the city of Cusco. Moray is recognized as an Inca agricultural laboratory composed of four enormous circles, which are concentric circular platforms. The deepest reaches a depression of 80 meters, with the lowest platform having a diameter of 36 meters. Furthermore, within these platforms, temperature variations are experienced that range between 0.5° and 1.5°C per platform, creating up to 20 different microclimates.
- Later, we will visit the Maras Salineras, made up of around 5000 small salt pools, each one producing approximately 50 to 80 kg of salt per season. These pools are fed by a spring of underground salt water. This completely natural process lasts almost two months for one growing season. Maras salt is highly sought after, and the highest quality variety is the pink mineral salt.
- We will return to Cusco, where our tour will conclude around 2:00 p.m., near the Plaza de Armas of Cusco, marking the end of our excursion to the Maras Salt Mines.
Our pick-up and drop-off service from your hotel covers the Plaza de Armas area of Cusco. If your hotel or accommodation is outside this area, we offer the possibility of picking you up in the main square of Cusco (exactly at the water fountain).
