DAY 1: CUSCO – CHINCHERO – MORAY – MARAS SALT MINES – OLLANTAYTAMBO – AGUAS CALIENTES.

The Sacred Valley Tour Via Maras Salt Mines, begins with an early morning pick-up at 7 a.m. from your accommodation in Cusco to drive toward the high mountain village of Chinchero (Western side of the Sacred Valley). CHINCHERO — is a small village with beautiful views of the Sacred Valley and famous for its weaving and spectacularly sited at high altitude (3,800 mt./12,500 ft.). In this charming village, you will see adobe homes, narrow cobbled streets, and people in traditional Peruvian dress. Chinchero known as the weaver town, we will also visit a town that has retained many traditions, resulting in exceptional handicrafts and woven goods (we will be witness to a live demonstration of handmade souvenirs and the use of simple instruments and natural dyes). Besides, we´ll visit the ruins of Chinchero and then, we continue driving to the lookout of Raqchi to take in the view of the Urubamba Valley. This part of the valley is filled with crops that dress the mountains like carpets. (the best place to get nice quality souvenirs is from Chinchero)

We will then continue our trip to Incan agricultural lab known MORAY — is an archaeological site located to the northwest of Cusco on a high plateau at about 3,500 mt. (11,500 ft) and just west of the village of Maras. This Inca site contains unusual Inca ruins, mostly consisting of several terraced circular depressions, the largest of which is approximately 30 m (98 ft) deep. As with many other Inca sites, it also has an irrigation system. Here, our guide will transmit you the history of this impressive Inca ruins on the mountain top. After learning how Incas cleverly designed a drainage system at the bottom of the terraces in order to avoid flooding during the rainy season, we drive down to SALT MINES OF MARAS — at this amazing site, you can see the pans fed by saline spring water that was built on steep terraces along one side of a narrow valley. The water is sent throughout the pans by a network of channels where the water slowly evaporates leaving the salt behind. Salt has been collected from Maras since Pre-Incan times and it is thought that a collective of salt ‘miners’ has maintained the terraces and channels for hundreds of years. 

The journey continues as we’ll drive along the beautiful valley with great scenery, you will be able to see the corn farmlands, the potatoes, the incredible quinoa and much more. We’ll arrive toward Urubamba town around 13:00 pm for our lunch. You will have an amazing selection of fresh dishes, served buffet-style (Lunch is included). Afterwards we will drive for 30 minutes more to get the last Inca ruins known as Ollantaytambo.

Ollantaytambo Inca archaeological site was built with pink granite rocks where you can see the second biggest rock from the Inca’s time. This living Incan town displays narrow walkways, lined with water channels.

Afterwards, You´ll board the train from Ollantaytambo station to Aguas Calientes town, which is 1hour and 45 minutes journey. When you will be arriving in Aguas Calientes town you will be taken by your tour guide who will drop you off at your accommodation. At Aguas Calientes town you will have free time to do whatever you want to do for the nightlife. And also you can have dinner at any places there are so many choices.
