Maras and Moray Tour with Alpaca Walk and Chicha
From €107 per person
See availability →A Maras Moray alpaca tour that starts in Cusco or the valley and adds an alpaca walk, a chicha tasting and a weaving community to the terraces and salt pools.
This Maras Moray alpaca tour covers the classic pair of sites and adds three more stops. Your day begins with a hotel pickup, in Cusco or in the valley. After meeting the guide you travel in private transport through the valley.
The first stop is Sky Dome Peru, where you meet the alpacas, hear about their place in local culture and set off on a trek with views of snow-capped peaks. You can feed the animals and take photos along the way. After that come the two main sights.
- Moray, concentric circular terraces where the Incas tested crops in different microclimates
- Maras Salt Mines, over 3,000 pools cut into the slope
The day continues at a local chichería, where chicha de jora, the fermented corn beer, has been brewed for centuries. You taste several kinds, among them a strawberry version and Andean liquors. The last stop is a textile community, with a demonstration of natural dyes made from plants, minerals and cochineal, and the chance to buy directly from the weavers.
The guide and the alpaca walk are included, as is transport. Entrance tickets, food, drinks and tips are paid separately. It is not suitable for people with mobility, heart or respiratory problems.
