Day 1: Cusco → Maras, Moray, and Chinchero VIP Tour

At 8:00 Pickup from your hotel (Cusco)

Our professional guide and private driver will pick you up directly from your hotel in Cusco. Onboard a modern and comfortable tourist vehicle, we will begin a short but intensely enriching cultural experience in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

Scenic transfer to Moray (approx. 1 hour)

Along the way, enjoy privileged views of agricultural fields, Andean snow-capped mountains, and small traditional villages. Our guide will share stories and cultural insights to enrich your experience.

Moray – Inca Agricultural Laboratory

Explore this amazing archaeological complex made up of circular terraces arranged at different depths. Here, the Incas experimented with microclimates to develop diverse crops.

An example of advanced ancestral agricultural science ahead of its time.

Moray Village – Andean Authenticity

A short distance away, we visit the traditional village of Moray, where you can observe rural daily life, adobe houses, farm animals, and tranquil landscapes. A stop that connects you directly with the essence of the Andean world.
Close contact with local inhabitants.

Maras – Ancestral Salt Mines

Next, we visit the impressive salt mines of Maras, where over 3,000 white salt pools shine on the mountainside. These salt pans have been artisanally harvested by local families since pre-Inca times.

A visually stunning and unique landscape in the world.

Chinchero – Traditional Textile Center

We conclude our cultural route at an authentic textile center in Chinchero, where Quechua women proudly showcase their ancestral weaving, spinning, and natural dyeing techniques using plants, cochineal, and minerals.

A living cultural experience, perfect for acquiring unique souvenirs directly from the creators.
