Day 1
Day 01: Chinchero – Moray – Salineras
Chinchero, Moray and Salineras, starts with the pick up from the hotel at 08:30 a.m. in our mini van transport, where firstly we will visit the Chinchero artisanal textile center, to be able to appreciate how the alpaca wool dyeing process is carried out, as well as the process of weaving and spinning sweaters, chullos, etc. All these activities are carried out by hand by the artisan women of the place.
Then, we will go to the archaeological center of Moray, where we will be able to observe the different agricultural terraces, built with great wisdom and intelligence by our Inca engineers. To finish our tour in the sacred valley we will visit the Salineras or the salt wells, where you can see more than 3000 thousand salt water wells coming from a mountain very close to the place, which are still in a good state of conservation and operation.
At present, salt continues to be the main source of economic income for the population of Maras, which is why today the place can only be visited from a strategic viewpoint, as well as the place of Moray, due to the conservation of these 2 places.
At the end of the tour, we return to the city of Cusco, arriving at approximately 3:30 p.m.
