Itinerary
We start this Tour at 7:30am, when your guide picks you up at your Cusco hotel in our private van. On the way we stop first at the Mirador of Taray to enjoy a panoramic view of the Urubamba valley and its traditional farming villages. Then, we drive to the archeological site of Pisac, where you can see an impressive Inca cemetery with more than 2,000 tombs. There, we can admire the engineered farming terraces carved into the mountain and explore the Inca citadel . Then, we head down to the colorful market of Pisac and then drive to Urubamba for lunch. Our next stop is the archeological site of Moray a deep basin of architectural wonder. Levels of terraces are carved into a huge bowland the terraces have varied microclimates depending on how deep into the bowl they are placed. Archeologists believe that they were used by the Incas to discover the optimal growing conditions for their crops and experiment in hybridization. Continuing on our journey to the colonial town of Maras, we look down onto the pre-Inca salt āmines,ā called Salineras in Spanish. Thousands of salt pans have been passed down through countless generations and used for salt extraction since before Inca times. A hot spring at the top of the valley discharges a small stream of heavily salt laden water, which is diverted into salt pans and evaporated to produce salt. Finally, we drive to Ollantaytambo, taking the time to explore the Inca village that has remained intact since Inca times and the massive Inca Ruins, we will visit the massive architecture of the Sun Temple at the top of the formidable terraces and learn about the importance of this site for the Inca during the beginning of the Spanish conquest. Here you spend the night at your hotel in Ollantaytambo, ready to start the Inca Trail the next day. Meals : Buffet Lunch
