This six-hour day trip starts with a hotel pickup in Cusco. The first stop is Moray, an ancient Inca agricultural center where over 250 plant species were cultivated. Visitors spend about 45 minutes exploring the site. Next, the tour continues to the town of Maras, which shows both colonial and Inca influences, with a 15-minute visit. The final destination is the Salinas de Maras, a group of more than 3,000 salt ponds that locals still use to harvest salt by traditional methods dating back to pre-Columbian times. The visit to the salt mines lasts approximately one hour. The tour includes round-trip transportation from most Cusco hotels with air-conditioned vehicles, bottled water, snacks, and entrance fees except for Moray, which requires a separate ticket. A bilingual professional guide fluent in Spanish and Portuguese provides explanations throughout. After completing the visits, travelers are returned to their accommodations in Cusco. Children under five travel free if they do not occupy a seat, and infant seats can be provided upon request if paid for.
