DAY 3: SACHED VALLEY OF THE INCAS (B,L)

08:00 h. Our tour starts right at your hotel in Cusco, our guides will pick you up from there.

The beauty of the landscapes through this route involve amazing snowy mountains and

colorful agriculture fields. Our first visit takes place at the small town of Chinchero, which is

located 30 Kms away from the center of Cusco. Once there, we will visit the highlights of

Chinchero, such as the Inca Ruins at its main plaza and the textile community. In Chinchero

the Inca ordered the construction of many aqueducts and terraces, many of them still in use

today. The most striking remnant of this Inca period is Marasthe massive stone wall with

trapezoidal niches perfectly preserved. In addition, we will also visit a little colonial church,

which was built over the foundations of an Inca palace. Later on, we head towards the archaeological zone of Moray.

Moray owes its reputation due to a series of gigantic circular

terraces, which were probably used as amphitheaters. On the other hand, others believe

Moray was a sort of agricultural greenhouses, used to increase types of crops. Researchers

believe each level offered different climatic conditions that allowed Inca farmers to sow

different tubers. The next stop will be the Salt Mines of Maras, located a few kilometers

away. As soon as we get in Maras, you will enjoy spectacular views from above, while our

vehicle descent into the valley. Once at the site, we will walk around the pools and will

learn how Andean descendants extract the salt. Finally we will leave in the direction of

the Ruins of Ollantaytambo. Ollantaytambo is undoubtedly one of the greatest architectural

legacies of ancient Peru. According to history, it was used as a fortress by the Inca

resistance, against the conquerors. Here we visit the most important sectors with our local

guide and enjoy breathtaking views. Night in Ollanta ytambo.
