Description

Our Tour Maras - Moray is easily one of the most popular tours for Cusco visitors who love archaeology, nature, and local life. In just 6 hours time, our expert guides will take you Maras and Moray: Two attractions in one tour, consider that Chinchero Inca ruins will only be visited if you book a private tour.

Moray is a set of semi-circular platforms that represent different ecological levels, which means different temperatures; this is the reason why we came to the conclusion that Moray was an agricultural laboratory for the adaptation of different crops such as potatoes, corn, quinoa, oca, etc.

Nearby Moray, there is a natural salt mining area known as Salineras de Maras formed millions of years ago and it was part of the local diet for thousands of years and even today this type of salt is used for local and regional consumption; during this half-day tour, we will also hit this natural attraction.
