Full-Day Private tour: Chinchero, Maras, Moray, Ollantaytambo, Pisac Market

Following pickup from your hotel in Cusco, explore Peru's Urubamba Valley on this 7-hour day trip. 

After departure aboard your comfortable vehicle, the day's first stop is the Andean village of Chinchero. Stroll around the town's main square, take in the alpine views and stop at an ancient church with impressive decorative details. Continue to the small town of Maras, a former salt-production center that lies off the beaten path. Imagine what life was like in colonial times as you have a look around. 

Travel just a couple of miles to Moray, home to a set of amphiteater-like terraces made by the Incas. Listen as your guide explains the use of these terraces and their role in the Incas farming practices. Stop for lunch in the area, choosing between two local restaurants. 

With a belly full of Peruvian food, head to Ollantaytambo to explore an impressive Inca fortress. Stroll down the town's cobblestone streets at your leisure before boarding your tour vehicle for the trip back to Cusco.

You will start your tour in Chinchero, which was one of the most important populations during the Inca empire. However, it was victim of the extirpation of idolatries, action that replaced the traditional deities by Catholic ones, in order to transform popular beliefs. Then visit Maras, an impressive complex of salt mining. They are large deposits of salt used for exchange for other products with other regions of the empire. On the other hand, the archaeological site of Moray consists of mysterious concentric circular terraces that for some investigators would be an agricultural research center. Free time for lunch and then visit Ollantaytambo, a typical example of urban planning of the Incas. The archaeological complex called fortress although it was a tambo, a resting and lodging place for long distance travellers. Finally visit the citadel of Pisac. The market has dozens of stalls displaying and selling goods crafted by residents of the area. After the visit return to your hotel.
