Itinerary

Chinchero, Maras and Moray with Andean Picnic Tour

Sitio arqueológico de Chinchero Picnic-en-Maras

After picking you up from your hotel in Cusco at approximately 8:00 a.m., we will begin our journey toward the heart of the Sacred Valley. Our first stop will be Chinchero (3,754 m / 12,316 ft), a charming Andean town known for its ancestral textile traditions. Here, we will visit a local textile center where artisan women will demonstrate, step-by-step, the full process of spinning, dyeing with native plants, and hand weaving a tradition preserved through generations.

We will then continue to Moray (3,500 m / 11,482 ft), an astonishing archaeological complex made up of circular terraces used by the Incas as an agricultural laboratory. These structures allowed experimentation with various microclimates to improve crop production. Afterward, we will head to the impressive Maras Salt Mines (3,380 m / 11,089 ft), a unique landscape of more than 3,000 stepped salt ponds where artisanal extraction techniques from pre-Inca times are still used today.

To conclude the experience, we will move to a peaceful natural setting where you will enjoy a private Andean picnic, accompanied by llamas and surrounded by exceptional mountain views. You’ll taste local products in a relaxing atmosphere with an unbeatable landscape.

After lunch, we will return to Cusco, arriving in the afternoon with unforgettable memories of the Sacred Valley.
