From €24 per person
See availability →A Sacred Valley tour ending in Ollantaytambo: Chinchero textiles, the terraces of Moray and the Maras salt ponds, and a buffet lunch in Urubamba ahead of the drop-off.
This Sacred Valley tour ending in Ollantaytambo suits anyone who is travelling on rather than coming back to Cusco. It starts with hotel pickup and a first stop in Chinchero, a modest town known for weaving, where you see textiles made with Inca techniques.
Then you reach Moray, whose agricultural terraces were built along the hillsides so the Incas could grow plentiful crops on poor mountain land, and Maras, nearby, with over 5,000 salt ponds used for a long time to preserve food. After learning how Inca farming worked, you drive to Urubamba, the valley's capital, for a buffet lunch.
The afternoon belongs to Ollantaytambo, where you climb more than 200 steps to the top of the terraced fortress that watches over the town and was an important defensive position in Inca times.
- Hotel pickup in Cusco, a bilingual guide and transport
- Buffet lunch in Urubamba
- Drop-off at either the train station or the main square of Ollantaytambo
The partial tourist ticket, the salt mine entrance, drinks, tips and the return transport to Cusco are not included.
