Cusco: Half-Day Tour to Chinchero, Moray & Maras Salt Mines

Discover Incan history at Chinchero, explore the agricultural terraces of Moray, and visit the ancient Maras Salt Mines. Enjoy soft hiking and stunning landscapes.
Embark on an unforgettable half-day tour starting with a visit to the Incan fortress of Chinchero. Here, you'll marvel at the well-preserved Inka walls in the main square and numerous altars directed to the four cardinal points. The tour includes a visit to the beautiful colonial church, renowned for its unique artwork. You'll also experience a fascinating exposition of Andean weaving art, gaining insights into the ancient techniques maintained since pre-Inka times.
Next, journey to Moray, an ancient site designed for agricultural research. The concentric terraces create a gradient of micro-climates, with the warmth of the central ring dissipating as the terraces ascend. This ingenious design allowed the Incas to study various crops at different altitudes. Your guide will explain the significance of this site and its role in Incan agriculture.
The final stop is the Maras Salt Mines, a village known for its salt production since pre-Inca times.
