Maras and Moray Private Tour from Urubamba to Cusco
From €81 per group
See availability →A Maras and Moray private tour ending in Cusco starts in Urubamba and links the circular terraces, the salt ponds and the weaving town of Chinchero, with a private vehicle and hotel pickup.
This Maras and Moray private tour ending in Cusco is a one-way route: you set out from Urubamba and finish in the old Inca capital instead of returning to the valley.
The first stop is Moray, a set of round terraces the Incas turned into a sort of farming laboratory, testing crops in different microclimates. Next come the Maras salt mines, over 3,000 ponds that go back before the Incas, still worked by hand by local families, their white surface set against the mountains.
The route then reaches Chinchero, an Andean town of cobbled streets, a colonial church and colourful textile workshops, where weavers keep their craft alive with natural wool and plant dyes. From there the vehicle continues to Cusco.
- Private transportation and hotel pickup
- About six hours on the road and at the sites
- A driver rather than a guide, so the tour is a sightseeing route and not a guided visit
It suits travellers who sleep in the valley and move on to Cusco the same day, and who want to see the best-known landscapes along the way.
