Hike to the 7 Ausangate lagoons 1 day
Description
Though they may not make the list of big-hitter Incan sites in Peru, the ruins at Moray and pre-Inca salt mines of Salineras are no less fascinating than their more famous counterparts. Discover these off-the-beaten-track ruins on this day tour from Cusco, which also includes a visit to the quiet colonial town of Maras. A guided tour makes it easy to explore less-frequented locales and includes informative commentary and round-trip transportation from Cusco.

My family and I enjoyed the most perfectly planned trip ever. The team at Travel peru Best took all of our interest into mind when we were booking this tour. The guides actually felt like an additional family member. The flexiblity of team and attention to detail is unmatched from any other agency we have travelled with. I would definietly use Travel Peru best again in the future.
