Highlights
- Maras - Departing from the city of Cusco or the revered Sacred Valley, we’ll embark on a journey via private transport to the quaint community of Cruzpata. Here, we’ll rendezvous with our team of muleteers and horses. Our adventure continues as we trek to the archaeological wonder of Moray, traversing through breathtaking landscapes adorned with snow-capped peaks and verdant fields of crops. Upon arrival at Moray, our knowledgeable guide will delve into the site’s significance, highlighting the Incan innovation in acclimatizing plants and crops to various elevations. Studies suggest that the site’s agricultural terraces exhibit a remarkable thermal gradient of up to 15 degrees Celsius. Following our exploration of Moray, we’ll mount our horses and set off for the town of Maras. We’ll take a brief stroll through this charming hamlet, observing its centuries-old church. In Maras, we’ll bid farewell to our equine companions and proceed by private vehicle to the renowned salt mines. Our excursion concludes with a return trip to Cusco, arriving around 16:30 pm.

Additional Information
This exclusive excursion offers the ideal opportunity to uncover the concealed gems within Sacsayhuaman archaeological park, an awe-inspiring site located a mere 15-minute journey from the city of Cusco.
Standard tours only afford a brief glimpse at the towering walls, however, a comprehensive exploration of this archaeological treasure demands roughly 3 to 4 hours. There are numerous hidden sites that typically elude the attention of tourists, including the ‘Devil’s Balcony’ (Incan-carved caves), the ‘Temple of The Moon’, a venerable Incan temple designed for fertility rituals, and the ‘Incan Face’, a natural formation revered as sacred by the Incas.
If you possess a deep fondness for discovery and a keen interest to amass knowledge about the Incas in an engaging manner, this tour is the perfect choice for you!

Unforgetable experience, amazing people! - We had an amazing trip! It was a full day packed with attractions, very well organized, and great value for money. The tour guide (Holger) was extremely professional and friendly. You can tell that the guides care about the quality of the tour and are passionate about their work. The tour is completely private, it was only my husband and myself on the trip. The horse ride takes about 3 hours and it’s beautiful, going through mountains and valleys, off the beaten track. The only thing I’d say that is worth keeping in mind is that if you’re not feeling too confident with horses you might find this ride a little frightening. Other parts of the tour included a short and easy hike to Moray and Maras, lunch at the beautiful restaurant (buffet style), and visiting the amazing textile district.

Thank you Holger! - Holger went absolutely above and beyond. He is fast to respond via whatsapp. His paso horses are well trained and well taken care of. They were a real treat, i'm very glad to have been able to experience the paso llano gait. He was also able to provide everyone in our group with a fantastic experience despite a wide range of riding experiences.
He was extremely knowledgeable about the places we visited. Despite there being many tour groups at the sites, he took us to all the cool hidden spots and viewpoints that the other guides didnt know about.
His ranch has been in his family for generations. i'm extremely glad to be able to support a local family business.
Thank you Holger!

Bad experience - Booked reservations on line and paid $370 . I received an email a few hours later telling me that my booked and confirmed reservations were canceled and that I should expect a refund on my credit card within several days . If I wanted to place a hold on my card I would have done it myself . Terrible business practice to pull money out of my card and then quickly cancel the reservation. Cusco is beautiful, but this has placed a negative thought on our experience . With tourism only 60% of 2019, I would think all businesses would do whatever possible to provide a great experience for the tourist. Non smart at all.
