Description

Enjoy a private transfer from Cusco to Ollantaytambo with stops in the Sacred Valley. Visit a traditional Andean textile center, explore the Moray archaeological site, and see the Maras Salt Mines.
Begin your journey with a pickup from your hotel or designated location in Cusco. Head toward the Sacred Valley and stop at a traditional Andean textile center. Discover the ancestral weaving techniques passed down through generations. Learn how local artisans transform alpaca and llama fibers into beautiful textiles while preserving the cultural heritage of the Andes.

Continue to a scenic viewpoint offering panoramic views of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Take a moment to admire the spectacular mountains and fertile valleys while learning about the ancient qolqas, storage facilities used by the Incas to preserve food and essential supplies.

Make your way to Moray, an extraordinary Inca archaeological site famous for its circular terraces. These remarkable structures are believed to have played a role in agricultural experimentation, allowing the Incas to study how crops responded to different environmental conditions. The terraces create distinct microclimates, reflecting the advanced agricultural knowledge and ingenuity of this ancient civilization.

Next, visit the impressive Maras Salt Mines (Salineras de Maras), a spectacular collection of thousands of salt ponds built into the mountainside. Fed by a natural saltwater spring, these ponds have been used for salt production since pre-Inca times. Today, local families continue this traditional practice, preserving a unique cultural heritage that has endured for centuries.

After exploring these fascinating places, continue to Ollantaytambo, where your private transfer service will conclude. From here, continue your journey according to your travel plans, whether you are staying in the town or connecting to another destination.
