• Chinchero - Explore the Maras salt mines, Moray, and Chinchero Textiles on a half-day tour.

At the scheduled time, a professional guide and tour vehicle will collect guests from their hotel in Cusco or the Sacred Valley (for private tours only). The journey begins with a 40-minute drive to the charming ancient Inca town of Chinchero. Here, participants will engage in the Inca textile process, which includes washing, spinning, dyeing, and weaving camelid wool. For those interested in a unique souvenir, handmade garments are available for purchase directly from the artisans (optional). Visitors will also encounter locals in traditional dress, and on Sundays, a local market operates where bartering is still practiced, reminiscent of Inca times. The private tour includes a visit to the expansive agricultural terraces of Chinchero and the colonial church.

• Maras - Following Chinchero, the tour proceeds to the Maras salt mines to witness the industrial salt extraction process.
  Salt extraction has been ongoing since pre-Inca times, and today, local community members continue to utilize the saltwater spring, directing it through small channels to over 4,000 pits, where evaporation and solidification occur. The harvested salt serves various purposes, including consumption, agriculture, livestock, and medicine. Small bags of salt are available for purchase at local shops (optional).
• Moray - Guided tour of the Moray archaeological site.

The tour continues to the Inca experimental agricultural center of Moray, showcasing the ingenuity of the ancient inhabitants. The Incas utilized natural depressions to construct ring-shaped terraces, creating 20 microclimates to adapt plants to new ecosystems.
