Half-Day Tour to Moray and Maras Salt Mines: Discover Sacred Valley’s Hidden Gems

Experience the Wonders of the Sacred Valley

Embark on a captivating journey through the Andes and the Sacred Valley of the Incas, exploring the ancient salt mines of Maras, the archaeological marvel of Moray, and the traditional textile artistry of Chinchero. Traverse historical routes that weave through valleys, charming villages, colonial churches, and breathtaking landscapes teeming with natural beauty.

What Will We See on the Moray and Salt Mines of Maras Tour?

  • Moray Archaeological Site: Discover the impressive circular terraces of Moray, an archaeological wonder where the Incas ingeniously adapted and cultivated various crops. These concentric terraces, set against the stunning Andean backdrop, reveal the advanced agricultural practices of the ancient civilization.
  • Maras – Salt Mines – Natural Salt Pools Visit the spectacular salt mines of Maras, situated at 3,300 meters above sea level. These ancient salt flats feature over 3,000 small pools, each measuring around 5 square meters. Historically, the Incas used these salt mines for trading salt, a practice that continues to this day.
  • Maras Village: Step back in time in the colonial village of Maras, founded when Cusco residents migrated to smaller towns. The village still preserves its adobe colonial chapel, a testament to its rich history.
  • Textile Artistry in Chinchero: Experience the traditional weaving techniques at a demonstration center in Chinchero. Artisans use natural materials, including various plant dyes and wool from local llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas, to create intricate textiles.
  • Sacred Valley Landscapes: Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Sacred Valley, with its majestic peaks, snow-capped mountains, serene lagoons, and vibrant communities. This region is renowned for producing the best maize in Peru, offering a unique connection to nature and culture.
