Embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart of the Sacred Valley with our Maras Moray Tour.

This unique excursion offers a fascinating glimpse into the agricultural ingenuity of the Incas and the breathtaking landscapes of the Andes.

Visit Moray: Your adventure begins at Moray, an impressive archaeological site characterized by its extraordinary circular terraces. These terraces are believed to have served as an experimental agricultural station for the Incas, allowing them to cultivate various crops at different altitudes.

As you explore the site, you’ll be amazed by the intricate design and engineering skills of the Incas, who created microclimates to enhance crop production. The stunning views of the surrounding mountains make this a perfect spot for photography and reflection.

Explore Maras: After Moray, you will head to the picturesque town of Maras, famous for its salt mines known as salineras. The salt mines, which have been in use since pre-Inca times, consist of thousands of salt ponds that are filled with water from a nearby spring.
