Combo Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu | Moray to Machu Picchu

At 7:00, we pick you up at your hotel to take you to the Sacred Valley of the Incas, a lush farming region, formed by the Urubamba River and an important food source for the Incas, who still supply the city of Cusco with most of its produce today. Our first stop, after an hour and a half, is Chinchero. There we will visit this pretty Andean town, known as the "birthplace of the rainbow," where we can walk through its Inca ruins, its colonial church built on old Inca foundations, and its traditional craft market, known for the weaving skills that its people have kept since ancient times.

We continue the trip through the Sacred Valley toward Machu Picchu. We head to Moray, an amazing Inca site with large terraces shaped like circular hollows. The deeper the terrace, the cooler the air, and crops were planted at their best temperature. Then, we visit Maras, a small colonial town where you can walk around and learn about the colonial period. We continue our trip to the salt pans. The salt comes from an underground salty stream that flows out on a hill above the salt pans. After that, we head to Urubamba, seen as the capital of the valley, for lunch. There, we enjoy a buffet lunch at one of its lovely tourist restaurants that serve traditional Andean food.

Then, we continue our trip to visit the Inca town of Ollantaytambo, which is still lived in today, where our guide will lead us through its forts and explain their purpose and history. The town and the forts sit in a great spot with views of the beautiful valley. This important site is known as the best-kept example of Inca city planning and building skill. It is admired for its huge, steep terraces that protect the fort, and for being one of the few places where the Spanish suffered a major defeat during their conquest.

Then we will take the train to Machu Picchu and spend one night there. Our guide will come to your hotel and give you the information you need for your next date.

On the other hand, between November and March, and unlike what many people think, it does not rain throughout the day; What's more, the rains during this season are in the afternoon, in most cases.

In addition, you will enjoy Machu Picchu in its most intense green, with lower prices and something that most people want but that is impossible to obtain during the high season; be in Machu Picchu with the least amount of people possible, allowing you to take pictures of Machu Picchu without a lot of strangers in them
