Begin your journey in Chinchero, a colonial town set atop ancient Inca foundations, perched on the windswept plains at 12,430 ft. While its centuries-old architecture and sweeping views are captivating, the heart of Chinchero lies in its market—a vibrant scene where locals trade handicrafts, food, and textiles in a tradition that has endured for generations.

Continue to Moray, an intriguing archaeological site where vast circular terraces descend into the earth. While some theories suggest a cosmological significance, these terraces are believed to have served as an agricultural laboratory for the Incas, allowing them to experiment with crops at different altitudes and microclimates.

Finally, descend to the salt mines of Maras, a striking landscape of terraced salt pools that have been harvested by hand for centuries. Watching the local families continue this age-old practice offers a glimpse into a living tradition. You’ll also have the chance to purchase hand-harvested salt, supporting the local community while taking home a unique piece of the region.

Please allow approximately six hours for the entire experience.
