- Salinas de Maras - Go off the beaten path and visit the traditional city of Maras where you will start your walk to the salt terraces of Maras (approx. 1 hour). Along the way marvel at the snow-capped Andean mountains and witness Cusco’s genuine countryside life. During the Inca times, the salt (which has curative properties by the way!) was extracted from the Maras mines and the same method to do so is still used today.
- Moray - With the vehicle, you will continue to the community of Misminay from where you will start with a hike towards a viewpoint of the terraces of Moray. Surrounded by an impressive backdrop of snow-covered mountains, Moray served as an open-air agricultural lab for adapting crops to different environmental conditions.
- Mullakas Misminay - After soaking up the impressive views of Moray, you will head back down to the community of Misminay where the ladies will welcome you. Enjoy a healthy and delicious meal prepared by the ladies of the community as you exchange stories with them. Your eventful day ends with a transfer back to your hotel in Cusco or the Sacred Valley.

Superb guide and an exceptional day - What a fabulous day this was! One never to be forgotten and one which was made particularly special by our exceptional guide, Willy.
Willy looked after us with such care, ensuring that we would have the best viewpoints at all times, answering all our questions with ease and imparting historical facts as only gifted communicators can. We felt he was not only our guide, but the most wonderful companion throughout.
Our most sincere thanks to Setours for providing us with a guide who could not have been bettered. We felt enriched by our experience and filled with memories we feel privileged to hold.

Sacred Valley September 2024 - My wife and I had a fabulous time in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Our guide, Yossi, was punctual, polite and professional. He went out of his way to ensure we has a good experience and was happy to tailor our tours to meet our needs. Yossi is extremely knowledgeable and gave rich explanations of Inca history and the local customs and culture. Than you Yossi.
