Itinerary and highlights
Our meeting point will be at the reception of your hotel, the guide will pick you up at your accommodation to start the tour.
Once in our private transport, we will head towards the Maras salt mines, where this resource is extracted in an artisanal way and its various derived products are sold, such as chocolates and salty snacks, souvenirs and much more. We will have time to take a tour, shop and take pictures.
Finally, we will board our transport heading to a magical place “Mountain View”.
This is a hidden corner of the Sacred Valley, where the serenity of the mountains combines with the whisper of the wind through the trees.
In a space specially prepared for the occasion, we will enjoy a picnic in an Andean tipi. This traditional shelter will provide us with all the necessary comforts to relax. Here, we will not only be surrounded by an incomparable natural environment, but we will also taste an exquisite fruit and cheese platter accompanied by the best wines, a perfect combination to delight our palates.
As part of our experience, we will have the opportunity to interact with llamas. These animals, emblematic of the Andean region, will bring us even closer to the traditions and culture of this magical place. We will learn about their importance in local history and perhaps, with luck, we will even be able to feed them.
Once the tour is over, you will be transferred by private transport back to your hotel in the city of Cusco.
We can accommodate dietary restrictions.
