START

We begin the tour with a pick-up from your hotel for our half-day excursion. We'll visit part of the Sacred Valley and all that this spectacular place has to offer, starting with an Awana, a traditional Andean camelid and textile center. We'll discover the profound meaning of the symbols in the textiles, the natural dyes, and the ancestral spinning and weaving techniques. We'll continue to Moray, with its circular terraces, which served as an agricultural experimentation center thanks to its varied microclimates. Next, we'll visit the Maras salt mines, where you'll see more than three thousand salt ponds connected by a vast network of underground channels fed by mountain springs. Take advantage of this moment to capture photos of this incredible landscape. At the end of the tour, you'll return to Cusco, concluding a day full of adventures and new experiences.
