About the tour

Four sites in one day, in a group of 8 at most, with buffet lunch. From 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. From US$32.

A day in the valley that fed the Inca empire, visiting four places that show how they wove, farmed, harvested salt and built. You travel in a group of 8 people at most, so there's time at each stop and you can hear the guide without crowds.

The four stops

  • Chinchero · A weaving village with a colonial church built on Inca walls. Spinning and natural-dye demonstration.
  • Moray · Concentric circular terraces that worked as an agricultural laboratory at different temperatures.
  • Maras Salt Pans · Thousands of terraced salt pools on the hillside, still worked by local families.
  • Ollantaytambo · A fortress of monumental terraces and a still-inhabited Inca town with its original water channels.

Good to know

  • Entrance fees are not included: you need the Cusco Tourist Ticket (Chinchero, Moray and Ollantaytambo) plus a separate fee for Maras.
  • If you're going to Machu Picchu the next day, you can stay in Ollantaytambo and catch the train from there.

Highlights

  • Group of 8 people at most
  • Four sites in a single day
  • Buffet lunch included
  • Weaving demonstration in Chinchero
