Learn about Incan culture and a bit of the history of emblematic sites, such as the archeological park of Moray and the salt mines of Maras. During this 5-hour Maras Moray tour you’ll gain an insight into the life of the Incas centuries ago and Peru today, and also into the power of nature. Visit Salineras, a collection of watered terraces that produce salt from the evaporation of water from a salty underground stream.

Good, missed Sacred Valley

The ticket was sold to include Maras Moray Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco (Check the name of the tour) but Sacred Valley was not covered. And I had no time to book another tour for Sacred Valley - I missed Sacred Valley, Don't know when I will return to Peru again.

Nice tour, but with additional stops

Our guide Angela was very nice and explained us a lot. A surprise was the stop in Chinchero that was not mentioned in the tour description. It was interesting to see the work behind all the scarfs etc. in a textile fabric, but I would prefer to have more time at Moray and Maras instead. The same with the stop at the salt shop shortly before the salt mines - really not necessary, cause you get the same products at the salt mines. But Moray and Mars itself were interesting spots, even that we only had 30 mins per location.

Our tour guide Max did an excellent job. He explained in both English and Spanish. The drive was very long for such a short trip, lot of dirt roads.
