Departure will be at 8:30. You will be transferred to Maras, arriving at the sector of Cruz Pata. At this point we will start biking along with a professional guide.

We will go through the Andes, observing the experimental terraces of Moray that are considered as an Inca prototype of a greenhouse or experimental biological station. Then we will continue descending towards Maras (small village), where we will stop to have lunch. From this point we will have a great view of the Sacred Valley and the Andean chain.

Later we will cross the ancient mines of salt “Salineras” and will continue descending until reaching the Urubamba river at the sector of Pichingoto.
