Overview

Explore the breathtaking wonders of the Sacred Valley on this half-day adventure from Cuzco.

Here, you will witness over 3,000 terraced pools where local families still hand-harvest the famous pink salt. Next, we visit the surreal, circular agricultural ruins of Moray (sometimes spelled Morey or Muray). These ancient Inca terraces look like a giant amphitheater carved into the earth.

Whether you call them the Salineras de Maras, the Mares salt pools, or the Cuzco salt pans, this is a must-see Peruvian highlight. Book your seat today!
