Day 1
Maras, Salt Mines, Moray & Ollantaytambo
For your private adventure to the Sacred Valley, you may start from Cusco or the Sacred Valley, depending on the location of your hotel. At the hotel of your choice, your private driver will pick you up and take you to visit some of the most impressive attractions in the Valley: Maras, Moray and Ollantaytambo. Surrounded by spectacular views and accompanied by the friendly weather of the Valley, you will visit the Andean town of Maras, where you will be able to appreciate its characteristic narrow streets, adobe buildings, churches and fields. Also in Maras, somewhat away from the town, you will have the chance to visit its unique salt mines and learn about the process of collecting the salt, the kinds of salt and the various beneficial properties they have. You will then visit the circular terraces of Moray, a site where the Incas used to carry out agricultural experiments and was used to acclimatize crops to the altitude. After lunch, we will take you to Ollantaytambo, home of one of the largest archeological complex of the area. There, you will be able to appreciate its trademark stone streets, too narrow for cars, adobe buildings and Incan monuments. After the tour, we will take you back to your hotel.
