From €107 per person
See availability →A guided Moray and Maras day tour starting in Ollantaytambo, with lunch in Maras, a visit to the Chinchero textile center and a drop-off in Cusco.
This Moray and Maras day tour starts in Ollantaytambo and finishes in Cusco, so you cross the Sacred Valley in a single day. The bilingual guide collects you at your hotel or at the train station.
The first stop is Moray, where agricultural terraces step down the hillside. The Incas built them to grow plenty of crops on difficult mountain land. Right next to it lie the Maras salt mines, more than 4,000 ponds that served for a long time to keep food from spoiling.
- Moray, for the Inca farming terraces
- Maras, for the salt ponds and a lunch in town
- Chinchero, a small rustic town with a textile weaving center
After lunch the tour continues to Chinchero. You walk through the town, then visit the weaving center to see textiles made with traditional Inca techniques. The last drive takes you to Cusco, where the tour ends at the main square or at your accommodation.
Transport, the guide, lunch in Maras and the drop-off are included. The partial tourist ticket, the salt mine entrance, drinks and tips are not. Ollantaytambo's Inca site can be added if you tell the operator in advance.
