Itinerario
El Tour Maras, Moray & Chinchero comienza con una recogida en el hotel alrededor de las 8 AM, partiendo en un paseo panorámico por los Andes. El viaje, que dura aproximadamente 1 hora y 20 minutos, serpentea más allá de los picos nevados, los campos de trigo dorado y los pueblos tradicionales, ofreciendo una impresionante introducción a los paisajes del Valle Sagrado. Nuestra primera parada es Moray (3.500 msnm), un ingenioso sitio agrícola inca. Aquí, tres terrazas en forma de cuenco descienden a la tierra como un antiguo anfiteatro, diseñado para experimentar con microclimas para optimizar el crecimiento de los cultivos. La simetría y la ingeniería de este sitio revelan la profundidad del conocimiento agrícola inca, mezclando ciencia y espiritualidad con la tierra.
Después de explorar Moray, continuamos solo 3.2 km (2 millas) cuesta abajo hasta las Minas de Sal de Maras (3.380 msnm / 11.090 pies), un paisaje sorprendente donde la historia y la tradición se fusionan. Este antiguo sitio de producción de sal, que se cree data de la época preincaica, sigue siendo una parte vital de la economía local. Más de 3.000 piscinas de sal, excavadas en la ladera de la montaña, crean un impresionante mosaico de terrazas blancas en cascada por las laderas. Cada piscina es llenada diariamente por un manantial naturalmente rico en minerales, y a medida que el sol evapora el agua, los cristales de sal que quedan atrás se cosechan cuidadosamente utilizando técnicas centenarias. El contraste entre las brillantes salinas blancas y las escarpadas montañas andinas hace que este sitio sea inolvidable.
Nuestra última parada es Chinchero (3.762 msnm / 12.343 pies), un encantador pueblo andino donde la herencia incaica y las influencias coloniales se entrelazan. Aquí admiramos las murallas incas bien conservadas que enmarcan la plaza principal, junto con altares ceremoniales que aún resuenan con la energía espiritual del pasado. Luego visitaremos la iglesia colonial, una joya escondida adornada con murales vívidos e intrincadas obras de arte, que ofrece una fascinante mezcla de tradiciones Inca y Español. Para concluir nuestro viaje, nos sumergimos en el mundo de los textiles andinos, donde los artesanos locales comparten sus ancestrales técnicas de tejido. Usando tintes naturales y lana hilada a mano, crean patrones intrincados que cuentan las historias de su pueblo, un oficio transmitido de generación en generación, mucho antes que los incas. Después de esta enriquecedora experiencia cultural, regresamos a Cusco, llevando con nosotros la esencia de los Andes.

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.
