Private Tour to Maras Salt Mines and Moray
Maras and Moray are two of the most surprising destinations in the Cusco region. Moray is a set of impressive circular terraces that the Incas used as an agricultural laboratory, while the Maras salt mines are thousands of salt pools that have been worked since pre-Inca times and are still in use today.
With our private transport you will travel comfortably across the Maras plateau, with views of the snow-capped Chicón and Verónica mountains. Your driver will wait for you at each site so you can explore at your own rhythm.
This half-day tour is perfect for travelers with limited time or for those who want an easy excursion during their first days of acclimatization in Cusco.
