Moray and Maras Half-Day Tour with Chinchero Weavers
From €14 per person
See availability →A Moray and Maras half-day tour from Cusco, with a weaving workshop in Chinchero and mountain views over the Sacred Valley, back in town for lunch.
For a Moray and Maras half-day tour from Cusco you do not need to give up a whole day. A guide picks you up at your hotel and the first stop is Chinchero, 3,762 metres above sea level, where you enter a weaving workshop and watch local artisans carry on the Quechua tradition, drawing colours for their Andean textiles from natural plants.
From there the road leads to Moray, at 3,450 metres, where the terraced hollow and its irrigation system are laid out below you. The last stop is the Salineras of Maras: about 3,000 small pools, a site dating from before the Incas that still produces salt that is processed and sold in the region.
- Chinchero, for the weaving workshop
- Moray, for the Inca agricultural terraces
- Maras, for the salt pools
You are back in the city in time to have lunch on your own. The tour includes hotel pickup, a bilingual guide and transport, and can be private if you choose that option. The entrance to Moray and to the salt mines, the hotel drop-off and tips are not included.
