Itinerary and highlights
At 0800 AM, we will be picking you up from your hotel in Cusco.
We will embark on an hour drive from Cusco to Cruz Pata in Sacred Valey of the Incas. This is where the ATVs will be handed over to you for a ride to Maras and Moray
Our first stop will be in the intriguing circular farming terraces of Moray. The incas built this distinct terrace with different levels so they could test the growth condition of crops at different tempratures. There is a difference of 20 degrees celsius from the top to the bottom level of the terrace. Our local expert will be sharing their knowledge on this here.
We will then ride the ATVs further for 30 minutes to the imposing Maras Salt Mines. These Salt Mines have been in use since the pre Inca times and have been passed down in the line of sucession. Locals continue to practise the traditional solar evaporation method here. This is the most Instagrammed spot in Cusco. We will be giving you a detailed tour and explain the prominence of this Pink salt in Peruvian Gastronomy
After the tour, we will embark on a 45 minutes ride back to Cruz Pata and then continue to Cusco on an hours drive. We wll be dropping you off at Plaza Regocijo, a block away from Cusco's main square.
