Exploring the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

Sacred Valley - Taray lookout.
Our certified guide will introduce you to our first stop, showcasing a panoramic view of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, the snow-capped mountains, and the Willcamayu River. This is an ideal moment to capture memorable photos, while our guide provides insights about the location.

Pisac - Upon arrival at the archaeological site, our certified guide will commence the tour in Pisac. One of Pisac’s main attractions is the Inca ruins, perched on a hill overlooking the town. These ruins include agricultural terraces, residential areas, and ceremonial buildings, believed to have been built in the 15th century by the Inca emperor Pachacuti. Our guide will also take you to the market, held every Sunday, attracting vendors from across the region. Here, visitors can find a variety of traditional handicrafts, textiles, jewelry, and other products, and enjoy traditional Peruvian cuisine.

Maras - At the main attraction, our certified guide will provide general information about this unique site. The salt mines consist of thousands of small salt pools carved into the mountainside. These pools are filled with saltwater from a nearby natural spring, which evaporates under the sun, leaving behind crystallized salt. The salt is harvested by hand using traditional methods and sold in local markets.

The history of the salt mines dates back to pre-Inca times, and the methods of salt production have remained largely unchanged over the centuries. The salt from Maras is renowned for its high quality and unique flavor, used in many traditional Peruvian dishes.

Visitors to the Maras Salt Mines can take a guided tour, learn about the history and methods of salt production, and even participate in the salt harvesting process. The surrounding area is also known for its natural beauty, offering stunning views of the mountains and valley.

Moray - Our certified guide will explain this unique series of circular terraces that resemble an amphitheater, with concentric rings decreasing in size as they descend. The purpose of Moray remains unclear, but it is believed to have been used for agricultural experimentation and research by the Incas. The terraces create microclimates, with temperature differences of up to 15°C (27°F) between the top and bottom levels, allowing the Incas to study and cultivate different crops under varying conditions, enhancing their agricultural knowledge.

The site is set in a beautiful natural environment, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Visitors can also explore nearby villages and enjoy traditional Peruvian food and culture. Overall, Moray is a fascinating archaeological site that showcases the advanced agricultural and engineering knowledge of the Incas.

Ollantaytambo - Our certified guide will provide insights into Ollantaytambo, a town in the Sacred Valley of Peru, about 72 kilometers (45 miles) northwest of Cusco. It is a significant archaeological site and a popular tourist destination due to its well-preserved Inca ruins and traditional Andean culture.

Ollantaytambo was once an important administrative and religious center for the Inca Empire. The ruins include a massive fortress and temple complex built with enormous stone blocks transported from distant locations. The site features steep terraces, stone walls, and water channels, serving both military and religious purposes.

Ollantaytambo is also known as the gateway to Machu Picchu, being the starting point for the famous Inca Trail trek to the ancient citadel. Many tourists visit Ollantaytambo to experience traditional Andean culture, including music, dance, and handicrafts.
