Highlights
- Complejo Arqueologico Chinchero - CRAFT MARKET OF CHINCHERO.- This town is located at 28 km. From Cusco on the paved road to Urubamba where are the remains of what was the “Royal Hacienda of Tupac Inca Yupanqui”, it is like a beautiful colonial temple built on Inca foundations, its greatest asset. However, it is its Sunday market, originally dedicated to the exchange of agricultural products between the villagers of the valley and the high end. Currently, the market is a spectacle of colour and movement that causes the fascination of tourists with its range of handicrafts and textiles made of pure pre-Columbian style.End of services
- Moray - MORAY.- It is located 7 km from Maras, two hours from Cusco by Chinchero route which is one of the most spectacular views where there are circular terraces of different sizes. These are experimental agricultural terraces and places of concentration of female energy, which is considered as a magnetic center of the Pachamama.
- Maras - SALT MINES OF MARAS.- Located northwest of the town of Maras, known by some as “Salt Mines”, they are constituted by about 3,000 small wells. The salt is obtained from pre-Hispanic times through a system of sun-dried salt water from an underground stream. Once the water evaporated, the salt is ready for sale.

By far the best way to see the sacred valley - I am extremely pleased with this tour. This is a private tour, and the best way to see the sacred valley. The staff were very helpful and catered to all of our needs. Because the tour is private, we were able to spend as much time as we wanted at the stops. The guide would stagger our sites so that we would visit places before/after the large busses had left so we had many of these places to ourselves with no crowd. This company was extremely professional and took amazing care of us for the entirety of our trip. I was so impressed with this company that I also booked the Machu Picchu tour and the Huamantay Lake tour with this group. All completely private tours with the same guide and driver for three days. This was the way to see Peru.
When we arrived in Cusco, someone from the tour agency connected with us the day before and came to our hotel. They gave us the tickets for the next day and explained to us how everything would flow the following day. The next morning, a private car, driver, and guide arrived at the hotel and took us for the tour. The driver was excellent at navigating the traffic and unexpected road closures. And the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He made sure we got the best deals on all of our souvenirs.
I cannot stress enough how impressed I was with this tour company and the guide and driver. Certainly one of the best I've used in my travels.
