Visit Maras & Moray

Set among quiet highland fields, the circular terraces of Moray descend into the earth in levels that may have served as an agricultural laboratory, simulating different microclimates. Nearby, the salt ponds of Maras shimmer along the hillside, fed by a subterranean spring and still harvested by hand as in pre-Inca times. Together, these visits reveal a deep relationship with the land and a form of ancestral knowledge that endures, offering an experience that connects history, landscape and local life.

Please allow approximately four hours for the entire experience.

Lunch Experience at MIL Centro

Set high above the Moray terraces, MIL sits at 3,568 metres (11,706 feet) amidst inter-Andean valleys and the living landscapes of Misminay and Kacllaraccay. This multidisciplinary space draws together art, science, and culinary research to explore the ecosystems of altitude through an eight-course tasting menu. Every detail, from the origin of each ingredient to the way it is prepared, offers a deeper connection to place.

Visit Pisac Archaeological Site and Calca Market (from Sacred Valley)

High in the Sacred Valley, the archaeological site of Pisac stretches across well-preserved terraces that follow the natural shape of the mountain. Once an important ceremonial and agricultural centre, it holds the only known Inca sun dial outside of Machu Picchu, overlooking a valley still guided by its cycles.

Further down, Calca offers a closer look at everyday life. Its market is active and authentic, with stalls offering herbs, flowers and seasonal produce. Tradition here is lived rather than displayed, forming a natural part of the community’s daily rhythm.

Rainbow Mountain Helicopter Overflight

In the morning, your guide will pick you up to board your private helicopter for an incredible overflight of Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain (1hr in the air, including heli transfer and overflight). Once you've seen this impressive natural formation from above, disembark the helicopter at a beautiful historic hacienda.  Enjoy a gourmet version of a traditional Pachamanca or "Earth Oven" lunch with all local ingredients, sauces and salads. Dig deeper and make a more profound cultural connection by participating in an offering to Mother Earth, an ancient ancestral ceremony carried out by the indigenous Andean cultures.
