Chinchero, Maras & Moray with Lunch in Tiobamba – Full Day

Pick up from your hotel in the city of Cusco. Then we will move to the village of Chincheros, a beautiful village of weavers and home to a cultural center that helps keep alive the textile traditions of Peru. Here we will visit a textile center where we will learn a little about how people dye alpaca fabrics with natural colors. You will also see some South American auquenids.

After lunch, we will move to Moray, a formidable Inca archaeological complex, made up of overlapping circular terraces that make up a large laboratory of agricultural experimentation that reproduces the climatic conditions of different ecological zones of the Inca empire. At the end of the tour we will return to our hotel in Cusco.

Afterwards, we will have lunch at the Restaurant Unu Landscape & Gastronomy, located in Tiobama, Maras district. This restaurant becomes a bridge between the past and the present, forging ties with the community and reaffirming its identity through the flavors and aromas that flow from its cuisine. Every dish served is a culinary expression that evokes memories of ancient times, and every corner of the place is a testament to the collaboration with the people who made it possible.

Finally, we will visit the town of Maras, formed by the famous salt mines, composed of more than 3,000 pools, which are crossed by a stream of salt water that nourishes them and to the action of the intense sun spring the crystals of coarse salt that are later harvested. We will learn about the production and extraction processes of pink maras salt, known worldwide for its medicinal properties. Return to the hotel.
