Super Sacred Valley Tour
Our first stop is Chinchero (3,762 m), where we'll explore the Royal Hacienda Ruins of Tupac Inca Yupanqui, see a preserved Inca wall, and visit a colonial church with mysterious fresco paintings built atop Inca foundations. Then, We will head to Salineras de Maras (3,300 m), a pre-Inca salt mine, where you will see hundreds of salt collection ponds at various stages of production. A natural salt spring feeds terraced pools, where locals harvest salt as they have since pre-Inca times. You can buy fresh salt to take home.
Next, we continue to Moray, which is home to several remarkable Inca monuments, featuring terraces arranged in striking concentric circles. The site is believed to have been used for agricultural experiments because of the many different climates achieved at the different levels of the terraces. Then, we will visit The Inca Fortress of Ollantaytambo (2,792 m) guarded the valley from jungle tribes. Explore its streets and fortress, once the site of the Inca’s last stand against the Spanish.
Our last stop is at Pisac. Located at 2,972 m.a.s.l, functioned as the Southern Gateway to the Sacred Valley, and is known for its military, ceremonial and agricultural purposes. Here you can admire numerous agricultural terraces lining the mountainside, the most of any site in the Sacred Valley. After the ruins, we'll stroll through the town and its vibrant artisan market.
