Sacred Valley of the Incas
Pick up at 8am. We drive for about 45 mins and stop by the small town of Chinchero to learn about the ancient techniques of arts and textiles by local people of the area. We then continue to visiting Moray, the agricultural testing site of the Incas while passing through beautiful valleys and begin to see snow capped peaks of the Andes. The Incas carved out the dome-like shaped into the ground to test out optimal growing temperatures for difference crops. After spending 30mins exploring, we drive 15mins to Maras, where we will explore and learn about the ancient salt mines. We will see 3,000 salt pools carved into the mountain which is fed by a mountain stream of water. After exploring the area, we drive about 45 mins to our final stop of Ollantaytambo before returning to Cusco. Marvel at well-preserved features such as the Temple of the Sun and Manyaraqui Square while observing the megaton rock structures, terraces, and steps leading up to the highest point. Return to Cusco by 4/5pm.
