Sacred Valley

MEALS B,L,D

Breakfast at the hotel. At 09:00, embark on a journey to discover the salt pans of Maras (Salineras de Maras) as you drive through the valley. These dramatic terraces, adorned with pools in varying shades of brown and white, capture water from a salty spring. The water is then sealed off until it evaporates, employing an age-old method of salt extraction. Stalactites have formed on the side of the mountain where the salty water has dripped down. Each pool is owned by a different family who collects and sells the salt as it dries.

From the village of Maras, continue to Moray, a unique Inca site that served as an agricultural experimentation center. It is believed that each level was utilized to test different crop strains, given the significantly varying temperatures of the terraces that create diverse climatic conditions in a small area. Meet Quechua-speaking farmers and weavers on an inspiring half-day visit to an Andean highland community in the Sacred Valley, near the well-known market town and former Inca royal palace of Chinchero. This personal encounter unveils the unique lifestyle and traditions of descendants from the mighty Inca Empire. Explore their village, taste the typical food of the area, understand their ancient medical remedies, observe weavers at work, venture into the fields to learn about local agricultural practices, and participate in a traditional Andean blessing.
