Highlights

Complejo Arqueologico Chinchero - In this place we visit 02 points: The archaeological zone of Chinchero will also appreciate the display of the loom of the settlers with their typical costumes where they will show us how they make these textiles using natural colors and ancestral techniques and with that they make the different garments in loom .
Moray - It was possibly an Inca agricultural research center where crop experiments were carried out at different heights, the layout of its platforms produces a gradient of microclimates having the center of the concentric circular platforms a higher temperature and gradually reducing outward to temperatures lower.
Salinas de Maras - These salt mines are also known as “salt mines”. They are formed by about 3000 small wells with an approximate area of about 5 m². In times of drought these are filled with salt water that comes from a natural spring that is located above the wells, when the water evaporates the salt crystallizes. When the salt reaches about 10 cm high from the floor it will be removed and then packed in cloth sacks and sent to the markets of the region; today that salt is being iodized by state standards
Ollantaytambo - Visit the majestic ruins of the town of Ollantaytambo, in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The archaeological complex of Ollantaytambo was a military, religious and agricultural center. This fabulous architectural setting is exceptionally interesting, due to the size, originality and detail of its structures.
Pisac Market - We will visit the typical town of Pisaq where the traditional market is located in the central part of the Plaza.
Pisac - This enclosure will find ceremonial baths, a residential settlement, and the largest known Inca cemetery, the oldest in South America. The ruins are surrounded by large agricultural terraces that blend harmoniously with the curvature of the mountain.
