Overview
The Maras and Moray tour from Cusco is the perfect full-day experience for travelers who want to explore the most unique archaeological and cultural sites in the Sacred Valley. This carefully designed Sacred Valley Maras Moray tour takes you beyond the classic route to discover hidden gems and breathtaking Andean landscapes.
Your journey begins in Chinchero, a traditional Andean village known for its textile heritage and panoramic mountain views. This authentic stop introduces you to local culture before continuing deeper into the Sacred Valley.
Next, you visit the fascinating Moray terraces, an impressive circular agricultural complex believed to have been an Inca experimental farming center. During this immersive Moray terraces tour, you learn how the Incas engineered microclimates to grow different crops at varying levels.
