Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Moray, Maras 08655 Peru

To start the Maras Moray & Chinchero Tour we will pick you up from your hotel around 8 AM and head to Moray. The drive is about 1 hour and 20 minutes and is absolutely beautiful. You will drive through the snow-capped peaks of the Andes, through lush yellow fields of wheat, past some villages.

Finally you will arrive to the fascinating display of terraces in Moray. Moray boasts three amphitheater-like terraces made by the Incas. These terraces, which are carved deep into the earth in a bowl shape, were thought to be used to determine the optimal conditions for growing crops.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Salinas de Maras, Carreta a Maras Urubamba, Maras 00051 Peru

When you are done exploring Moray you will head to the salt mines of Maras, which is about 2 miles away. This village is known as a former salt-producing center that is thought to date back all the way to pre-Inca times. There are over 3000 salt pools all carved into the mountain side, being filled daily by a little stream of water.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Complejo Arqueologico Chinchero, Chinchero Peru

The last place to visit will be Chinchero. Here we can admire the well-preserved Inka walls of the main square as well as the many altars. We will also visit the beautiful colonial church, unique for its interior artwork and imagery. Moving on we will participate in a wonderful introduction and learning experience of the art of Andean textiles; throughout the afternoon we will become acquainted with the wisdom of Andean weavings as maintained since long before Inka times.

Duration: 1 hour

After about a week hiking and climbing over and around Incan ruins in Peru we needed a quieter day with a later wakeup time that would get us somewhere super interesting. This day trip was great. The salt pools at Maras were amazing to see and the ruins at Chinchero were some of the best examples of Incan stonework we saw. We also loved that this tour was just for us. We paid perhaps a little more but it's worth it to have more control over the itinerary.

My friend and I were the only two people on the tour and it was very very good. Our tour guide spoke good English and was very informed and educated about his country Peru and the sites we were visiting on this tour. We had all the time we wanted at each site and he took photos for us and basically treated us like royality, we were so spoiled! We were fascinated with the complexities yet simplicities of the old ways of the Inca and community living. It was so interesting and we learned alot. No hesitation in recommending this tour!! Enjoy!
