Tour Description

First day: City tour in Cusco.

Upon your arrival, you will meet with our staff who will be waiting for you at the airport holding a poster with your name. They are going to transport you to the selected hotel.

Then we will drive you through the rugged mountains, along winding roads where we will see many farms and small villages. We will stop to visit Moray, considered as Inca’s agricultural research centre where they conducted experiments of crops at different heights. Here, you’ll see a large complex of terraced circular depressions in the earth which historians believe that they were used to study the climatic conditions on crops. As you descend each layer, the surrounding temperature descends as well, degree by degree, making for a unique and highly sophisticated thermo graphic tool. Continuing with our tour, we will visit the famous Salineras known by some as “salt mines” are constituted by about 3000 small wells (owned by the locals), constructed in the slope of “Qaqawiñay” mountain. Salt water comes from a natural spring located at the top of the well so water evaporates and the salt contained in it gradually solidifies.

In the afternoon we are going to transfer you to the selected hotel in Cusco.
