Why we love it?

This four-hour tour explores the lesser-known wonders of the Urubamba Valley near Cusco, focusing on the Moray Inca terraces and the Maras salt ponds. Discover the unique circular terraces of Moray, whose purpose remains a mystery but are believed to have been used for agricultural experiments, featuring an ancient irrigation system and temperature variations that demonstrate sophisticated Inca engineering. The nearby Maras salt ponds offer striking views as the salt crystals shimmer against the mountains and valleys, creating a vivid contrast with the surrounding greenery. This tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off with a professional bilingual guide and is suited for travelers interested in Inca history and natural landscapes. Admission to Moray requires a Cusco tourist ticket, and the Maras salt ponds have a separate entrance fee.
