Sacred Valley of the Incas (Chinchero-Moray-Maras-Ollantaytambo)

Departure for the Sacred Valley! Our first stop of the day is Chinchero, a charming Andean village where we will attend a fascinating demonstration in a textile workshop. Here you'll discover the ancestral techniques of natural weaving and dyeing, handed down from Inca times. We continue our visit to Moray, a mysterious archaeological site in the shape of a circular amphitheatre, once used as an Inca agricultural laboratory. Your guide will explain how these terraces were used to experiment with different crops at different altitudes. Our adventure continues to the salt mines of Maras, a unique landscape with thousands of white pools suspended from the mountainside. From here, we embark on a superb downhill hike that takes us to the banks of the Urubamba river, an ideal time to enjoy the peace and natural beauty of the valley. After meeting up with our driver, we'll end the day in Ollantaytambo, one of the last remaining inhabited Inca villages. We'll explore its impressive Inca ruins, a strategic site that served as a fortress and religious centre.
