Stop At: Moray, Maras 08655 Peru
This is a fantastic Half-Day tour to explore the Sacred Valley. You will see amazing views of the "Urubamba" mountain ranges, the Veronica mountain and the green valleys of farms. On this half day trip, you will be able to learn about agriculture, textiles, and the history of the Incas.
We will pick you up from your hotel around 8:35 a.m. and head to the farming laboratory in Moray. This beautiful drive is about 1 hour and 20 minutes. On your drive, you will see the Snow-Capped Mountains of the Andes, lush yellow fields of wheat, and some villages. Finally, you will arrive at the fascinating display of terraces in Moray. Moray boasts three amphitheater-like terraces, made by the Incas. These terraces, which are carved deep into the earth, in the shape of a bowl, were thought to be used to determine the optimal conditions for growing crops.
When you are done exploring Moray, you will head about two miles away, to the Salt Mines of "Maras". This village is known as a former salt-producing center and is thought to date back all the way to pre-Incan times. There are more than 3,000 salt pools carved into the mountain side, that are filled daily by a stream of water. This spectacular area is perfect for you if you wish to see something different than the ruins. Once you are done with the visit, you will head back to the city in time to enjoy some lunch on your own.
Duration: 7 hours
