Maras, Moray og Chinchero Privat Dags tur fra Cusco
Beskrivelse
På denne heldagstur vil du kende de bedste arkæologiske steder i hele Inkaernes hellige dal. Oplev denne fortryllende og historiske dal, når vi besøger det gådefulde arkæologiske område Moray, hvor afgrøder blev produceret i forskellige højder i et fantastisk terrassesystem. Derefter besøger vi byen Maras og Salineras, hvor et saltvand udspringer fra bjergene og falder ned i individuelle fordampningskamre, der har været i drift siden inkaernes tid til i dag. Til sidst ankommer vi til den farverige by Chinchero, hvor vi vil lære lidt mere om inkaernes historie og skabelsen af andinske tekstiler.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Maras, Moray & Chinchero Tour begynder med en hotel afhentning omkring 8 am, afgang på en naturskøn køretur gennem Andesbjergene. Rejsen, der varer omkring 1 time og 20 minutter, løber forbi snedækkede toppe, gyldne hvedefelter og traditionelle landsbyer, der tilbyder en fantastisk introduktion til Sacred Valley's landskaber. Vores første stop er Moray (3,500 masl / 11,482 ft), en genial Inca landbrugssted. Her falder tre skålformede terrasser ned i jorden som et gammelt amfiteater, der er designet til at eksperimentere med mikroklima for at optimere afgrødernes vækst. Symmetrien og teknikken på dette sted afslører dybden af inka landbrugskendskab, der blander videnskab og åndelighed med jorden.
Efter at have udforsket Moray fortsætter vi blot 2 miles (3,2 km) ned ad bakken til Maras Salt Mines (3,380 masl / 11,090 ft), et slående landskab, hvor historie og tradition smelter sammen. Dette gamle salt-producerende sted, menes at dateres tilbage til før Inka-tiden, forbliver en vital del af den lokale økonomi. Over 3.000 saltbassiner, skåret ind i bjergkanten, skaber en betagende mosaik af hvide terrasser, der kaskader ned ad skråningerne. Hver pool er fyldt dagligt af en naturligt mineralrig kilde, og som solen fordamper vandet, er de saltvandskrystaller, der er tilbage, omhyggeligt høstet ved hjælp af århundreder gamle teknikker. Kontrasten mellem de strålende hvide saltflader og de hårde andiske bjerge gør dette sted uforglemmeligt.
Vores sidste stop er Chinchero (3,762 masl / 12,343 ft), en charmerende andisk landsby, hvor Inca arv og koloniale indflydelser hænger sammen. Her beundrer vi de velbevarede Inka-mure, der rammer hovedpladsen, sammen med ceremonielle alter, der stadig resonerer med den åndelige energi fra fortiden. Vi besøger derefter den koloniale kirke, en skjult perle prydet med levende vægmalerier og indviklede kunstværker, der tilbyder en fascinerende blanding af inka og spanske traditioner. For at afslutte vores rejse fordyber vi os i den andiske tekstilverden, hvor lokale håndværkere deler deres forfædres vævede teknikker. Ved hjælp af naturlige farvestoffer og håndspændt uld skaber de indviklede mønstre, der fortæller historien om deres folk - et håndværk, der blev videregivet gennem generationer, længe før inkaerne. Efter denne berigende kulturelle oplevelse, vender vi tilbage til Cusco, bærer med os essensen af Andesbjergene.

The guide, Mr. Fredy Torres, and the driver, the young Dany, were very kind. They were punctual in picking us up.
We were contacted the day before the trip by Nohemi who picked us up from the hotel with a driver at 8am. Nohemi made it clear that the day was ours from the offset and that we would work around lunch (not included) depending on how the day paned out. The private tour started with about 1hr drive to Chinchero where we stopped on the way at a textile workshop. I must admit I thought that this would be a hard sell on their products only but we were greeted with traditional dress and a talk through the process of getting Alpaca wool, washing, dyeing and weaving. Along with meeting the Alpacas this was a very interesting talk. On to Chinchero where entrance needs to be paid but we had already purchased the Cusco tourist card the previous day. Nohemi talked about the area in great depth as it was her home town. We took the tour at our own pace and never felt pressured into moving on more quickly than we were ready for. Throughout this visit Nohemi talked about the history and took multiple pictures for us. Following this we headed on to salt mines at Maras. On the drive down you can see the mines below and when you get to the car park the viewing area is approximately 15 min walk down a fairly steep hill. Nohemi explained in detail the process of collecting the salt and we could see people working their plots. The entrance fee was 20s per person which was paid at the entrance to the site. Finally on to Moray and the 'laboratory' where the Inca's studied the micro climates for growing crops. Again we took our time and Nohem walked us around the whole site climbing some of the very steep hills at our pace. The entrance fee is also included in the Cusco tourist pass. We then decided to head back to Cusco rather than stopping for lunch as we had brought snacks with us for the journey. If you can I would recommend a private tour as it is so nice to take your time exploring at your own pace rather than being part of a large group of which we saw many
Tour that takes you to amazing places, impossible not to know if you are in cuzco. Nohemí was our guide, excellent, willing, explained in detail everything visited. Very grateful
The trip has been an extraordinary experience, our guide July cesar was very attentive at all times, pending our needs and giving clear and precise indications, do not hesitate to come
It is a unique experience in its class, please do not miss the opportunity to do this tour, our Guide Julius Caesar was very attentive to us at all times, with clear instructions and always with a smile on his face, we leave very grateful and very happy, Peru is full of wonders!
Friedrich was very friendly and super nice despite the weather was not the best... He brought a smile with us throughout the tour and also for the Machi Picchu tour!
Too good experience with the company. Our guide Freddy was great and told the stories of the Incas with passion. Merciii
Our guide Freddy was absolutely amazing. We loved everything about that day. What a beautiful memory and moment we shared. Thank you so much!
Very well the guide Jhonatan especially in the punctuality and kindness and the yimi driver who make our experience a good memory
After a 15 hour day with Machu Picchu, I was glad to find this half day trip. It was really well organized and our tour guide was great. Since it was a private tour, they were very flexible with our start time which we pushed back to 9:30AM. All 3 stops were a good length and she would have adjusted the tour to fit our liking. I loved the culture in Chinchero, the agriculture terraces in Moray were beautiful, and the Salt Mines were very unique. You also can't take a way the feeling of driving down to the valley - the views are stunning. We were back in Cusco by 4:30 which gave us time to relax and then head to dinner. Perfect for a little "slower" day.
