Would happily do it again
The day felt full without feeling chaotic. We came back to Cusco tired, full and with a phone gallery that was basically 90% mountains, Moray and salt mines.

Maras and Moray are a must-see!
Such a beautiful day in the Sacred Valley! Maras and Moray are incredible sights to visit, and having transport and lunch handled in one package made it totally stress-free. Our driver was great and the guide kept us entertained with fun history facts throughout the drive. Definitely wear comfortable walking shoes for the uneven ground!

A unique experience
We did this tour with friends, and we couldn’t stop talking about it afterward! The salt mines were so unique, and Moray made us all feel small in the best way , like we were walking among ancient mysteries. The lunch buffet was cozy, local, and delicious. I’d absolutely do it again.

Nature + History + Food = Perfect Day
I loved every part of this tour! The guide was super knowledgeable, explaining the Incan innovations at Moray. The salt mines sparkled under the sun, such a photogenic place. And the lunch buffet had the best lomo saltado I’ve had in Peru.
C
Very nice experience
The pink salt pans of Maras against the high Andes backdrop look even better in real life than in photos. Moray was equally impressive. A visually stunning day with fantastic food!
M
Very nice experience
