History, culture, and landscapes in the Sacred Valley

Hidden among the mountains and fertile valleys of Cusco lie three gems that reveal the greatness of the Andes: Maras, Moray, and Chinchero.

In Moray, enigmatic circular terraces showcase the agricultural wisdom of the Incas, while in Maras, thousands of salt pools shine like white mirrors on the mountainside. Finally, Chinchero, with its cobblestone streets and textile workshops, preserves the ancestral traditions that bring its people to life.

With our Maras, Moray & Chinchero Tour, you will experience a day full of discovery, learning about Inca engineering, living tradition, and the beauty of Andean landscapes. Without a doubt, it is an essential experience for those seeking to understand the true essence of the Sacred Valley of Cusco.

ITINERARY

Descubre tres joyas del Valle Sagrado en un solo día lleno de paisajes espectaculares, historia milenaria y tradiciones vivas. Comenzamos nuestra experiencia saliendo desde la ciudad de Cusco rumbo a Moray, un enigmático centro arqueológico inca donde se realizaban experimentos agrícolas en andenes circulares que simulan microclimas distintos. Allí conocerás la sabiduría ancestral de los incas y su increíble capacidad de adaptación al entorno.
Luego continuamos hacia las famosas Salineras de Maras, un conjunto de miles de pozas de sal ubicadas en las laderas de una montaña. Este lugar no solo ofrece vistas impresionantes, sino que también guarda una tradición viva: la extracción artesanal de sal, tal como se hacía desde tiempos preincaicos.
Finalmente, visitamos el encantador pueblo de Chinchero, conocido como "la cuna del arcoíris". Allí exploraremos su sitio arqueológico, su iglesia colonial construida sobre cimientos incas y participaremos de una demostración textil en vivo, donde las mujeres locales nos mostrarán el proceso de tejido tradicional con tintes naturales. Es una oportunidad única para conectarte con la esencia cultural de los Andes.
Al finalizar, regresamos a Cusco con el corazón lleno de historia, paisajes inolvidables y experiencias auténticas.
Con Aura Andina Travel, cada destino se convierte en una vivencia que recordarás para siempre.
