SACRED VALLEY COMBO
La experiencia por el Valle Sagrado de los Incas es un tour de día completo que visita los cuatro principales sitios históricos del Valle Sagrado en un solo día: Pisac, Maras, Moray y Ollantaytambo.
La primera parada del día es Pisac, donde visitarás la famosa ciudad y tendrás contacto con la cultura local, además de las Ruinas de Pisac, conocidas por sus andenes incas y un antiguo cementerio inca.
La siguiente parada es Moray, el Laboratorio Agrícola Inca, famoso por sus terrazas circulares, y las increíbles Salineras de Maras, con más de 3.000 pozas naturales de sal.
Después de la primera parte del recorrido, haremos una parada para almorzar en Urubamba antes de continuar hacia nuestro destino final: Ollantaytambo.
Ollantaytambo es conocido como uno de los últimos “testimonios vivos” de los incas en el Perú, ya que fue construido sobre cimientos y estructuras incas. El sistema de irrigación inca aún funciona y el agua corre por canales de piedra a lo largo de las calles.
Es la opción perfecta para quienes desean aprovechar al máximo su tiempo durante el viaje, y el tour se realiza solo en grupos pequeños para asegurar que cada viajero tenga tiempo suficiente en cada visita.

Itinerary
Details of the Itinerary
Our guide will pick you up from your hotel lobby around 06:30 am, depending on the location of you hotel. We will begin our journey to the Sacred Valley through a winding road around the mountains in the north of Cusco. Along the way, we will stop at El Mirador de Taray (viewpoint) to enjoy a beautiful view of the entire Sacred Valley and begin to learn about the ancient Inca history. The Sacred Valley was a key area of settlement for the Incas. The clime in the valley sustains fertile plains, which allows for a lot of growth, which is unusual for the high Andes. Here, the Incas carved the flanks of the mountains with wide contour terraces and irrigation canals. Our driver and guide will point out the best places to take photos to capture the beauty and vastness of the Sacred Valley. Next, we will drive towards the ruins of Pisac. At these ruins, you will see and learn about different aspects of the Inca culture. Here you can see amazing artwork etched into the stone and the impressive agricultural terraces. After exploring this magnificent place, we will drive back to the city of Pisac where you will have free time to walk around and do some shopping.
Afterwards, we will continue the trip to the district of Maras – Moray. Moray is made up of three amphitheater-like terraces made by the Incas. These terraces, which are carved deep into the earth in the shape of a basin, are believed to have been used as an agricultural laboratory to determine the optimal conditions for growing crops. After exploring Moray you will head to the Maras Salt Mines which are only 2 miles away. Dating back to colonial times, Maras was considered a salt-producing center. Carved into the mountainside are more than 3,000 salt pools, which are filled daily with a trickle of water. Once the water evaporates, it leaves behind a brilliant mosaic of salt. Then we will continue the trip to the province of Urubamba for lunch in a local restaurant where we will enjoy a delicious Andean food. (This meal is included in the tour).
After lunch, we will continue with our adventure in the Valley. We will drive along the Urubamba River towards the city of Ollantaytambo. We will visit the ruins once we reach Ollantaytambo. This site highlights the remarkable Inca architecture that was built during the Incas heydays. This is an extraordinary Inca site and in addition to the ruins, you will see an amazing rock formation representing the Inca God Wiracocha. You can end your trip here, around 4:30 pm or your can return to Cusco, arriving back around 6:00 pm, depending on the traffic.
