  • Experience the living culture of the Incas by touring the Sacred Valley.
  • See how the Incas extracted salt from the MARAS mines.

Description

For the Sacred Valley tour, we will pick you up from your hotel around 7 am and head to Chinchero to see the first Inca ruins of the tour. In Chinchero you will see the Inca sites and the colonial temple. Our guided tour of Chinchero will last approximately 30 minutes. Then we will visit the local market. After the guided market visit, we will head to Moray for another guided tour, where we will explore the terraces of Moray, believed to be an ancient Inca agricultural experiment. Next, we will head to the Maras mines, where we will learn first-hand about the salt extraction method used since Inca times. Our next destination is Urubamba. We will arrive there around 12:00 noon. In this impressive city you will have the opportunity to enjoy a delicious lunch. Then we take the bus 30 minutes to reach the Inca ruins of Ollantaytambo. This ruin was built with pink granite rocks and is another impressive example of Inca craftsmanship. Here you will see the second largest rock of the Inca period (90 tons) that was used as part of the Temple of the Sun. You will take a guided tour of the site. After exploring the Inca site of Ollantaytambo, we will drive for 1 hour to the Inca site of Pisac. This Inca site is famous for its astronomical observatory. Its imposing constructions make it one of the important Inca jewels inherited by the Inca Pachacutec. After exploring Pisac, we will return to Cusco, where we will arrive around 6:00 pm.
