Overview

This tour was created for travelers who don't want to return to Cusco to begin their Sacred Valley adventure. If you're in Ollantaytambo or coming from Machu Picchu, this private tour is perfect for you.

We'll begin by picking you up from your hotel or the train station and heading towards the Andean fields of Maras, where llamas and alpacas will greet you in a beautiful natural setting.

We'll continue to the enigmatic circular terraces of Moray, an ancient Inca agricultural experimentation center. Afterward, we'll visit the famous Maras Salt Mines, with over 3,000 salt ponds that create a unique sight.

Finally, we'll arrive in the charming town of Chinchero, where you'll visit its Native Art Center, a space dedicated to ancestral textiles. Here, you'll see authentic demonstrations of natural dyeing and traditional weaving.

This tour concludes with the final transfer back to Cusco, where we'll drop you off at your hotel or a central location.
