Sacred Valley Tour with Moray and Salt Mines

Sacred Valley Tour with Moray and Salt Mines, is a relaxed and incomparably beautiful stretch of small villages and ancient ruins spread across a broad plain and rugged mountain slopes northwest of Cusco. Its climate was beneficial to the development of agriculture and the construction of important cities like Pisac and animal sanctuary, ollantaytambo, and the archaeological site of Moray and the Salt Mines, rather than just focusing on the various shopping centers.

All of this is provided in a small private tour with a guide that is passionate about Inca history, which we will visit as part of this tour like Sacred Valley Tour with Moray and Salt Mines.

Itinerary

Pre-trek briefing:

For our Sacred Valley Tour with Moray and Salt Mines, we’ll provide you a thorough briefing at your accommodation in Cusco at 5:00 pm, the night before your trek, and you can take this opportunity to ask final questions and make any final preparations.

Itinerary:

At 7.00am, we pick you up from your hotel and take you to the start our Sacred Valley Tour with Moray and Salt Mines. We travel from Cusco, past Saqsaywaman over the mountains towards the Sacred Valley. We descend 1500 feet to the valley floor, where we find ourselves by the sacred Urubamba River and the village of Pisac. In Pisac, we stop to visit a traditional market, where you can browse and buy some local souvenirs if desired. We will spend about 30 minutes here.

Then, we drive up to the ruins of Pisac. Here, we explore the extensive ruins whilst enjoying stunning views over the valley. You will be given a guided tour of the Citadel of Pisac, in which we will see temples, homes, altars, carvings, tunnels, caves and the famous Intihuatana, “The hitching post of the sun”. We have about 90 minutes to explore the ruins.

For those who would prefer to spend more time in the market instead of visiting the ruins, advise your guide so he can organize a time and place to pick you up when returning through the market.

We continue on towards Urubamba, where we make a stop (45 minutes) for lunch. A 30 minute drive takes us to Ollantaytambo, which is surrounded by the sacred mountains. Here, we will spend about an hour. In Ollantaytambo, we get further exposure to Incan constructions, mainly the amazing temple of the sun, enormous blocks of rock perfectly carved and polished, stone water fountains, stairs and terraces. We also get to see the beauty of the local people in their traditional dress surrounded by the sacred mountains and Valley of Patacancha and Willoq.

Afterwards we will continue our adventure and visit the salt mines which are located on Maras district, then we will visit Moray considered an agriculture experimentation center since inca times and the Salt Pants which have made it famous..

On our return, we make a quick (30 minute) visit to the famous church and archaeological site in Chincheros. We return to Cusco at about 6:30-7:00 pm.
