Overview of your Cusco tour:

On this full-day tour, you will go to the Sacred Valley and the Urubamba Valley. Located between Cusco and Machu Picchu, this valley is known for its lush landscape, picturesque colonial towns and magnificent Incan fortress. Discover this beautiful, charming and historic place as we visit the enigmatic archaeological site of Moray, where new crops were developed by the Inca using varying altitudes on a terraced system. Then, we visit the town of Maras and the complex of Salineras. Admire how a saltwater spring gushes forth from these high altitude mountains and tumbles down the mountainside into individual evaporation chambers which have been fully operational in bringing the people of the highlands salt, ever since Inca times. If you want to see something really different from ruins, this is your tour! The area is amazing and spectacularly beautiful. Once you are done with the visit, you will head back to the city in time to enjoy some lunch on your own.
