Explore two of the Sacred Valley’s most fascinating sites on this half-day tour. Discover Moray, the mysterious circular terraces believed to be an ancient Inca agricultural laboratory, and visit the stunning Maras Salt Mines, where thousands of salt pools have been harvested by local families for centuries. A perfect blend of history, landscape, and living culture.

  • We will pick you up from your hotel around 8:00 a.m. and begin our journey to the fascinating agricultural site of Moray. The scenic drive takes approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, offering beautiful views of the Andean countryside along the way.

    Upon arrival, you'll explore Moray’s impressive circular terraces, a unique Inca construction believed to have functioned as an agricultural laboratory. These bowl-shaped terraces, carved deep into the earth, allowed the Incas to experiment with different crops and microclimates to optimize agricultural production.

    After exploring Moray, we’ll continue just a short distance—about two miles away—to the salt mines of Maras. This village was once an important salt-producing center, with thousands of salt pools that date back to pre-Inca times and are still used by local families today.

    Once the visit concludes, we’ll return to Cusco, ending a half-day journey filled with history, and breathtaking landscapes.
