We will pick you up from your hotel around 9 a.m. (the schedule is flexible, we adapt to your plan). From there we will begin our journey to Chinchero, an authentic Inca village located at 3,777 m altitude, surrounded by spectacular landscapes, cobblestone streets from the Inca era and foundations of ancient stone houses. We will visit its charming colonial chapel, built on an ancient Inca temple and with more than 400 years of history, where Andean tradition and Spanish heritage merge. Then we will enter a textile cooperative, where local women will show you, step by step, how they obtain the vibrant colors from plants and insects to dye alpaca wool, preserving ancestral techniques inherited directly from the Incas. Afterwards we will continue to the impressive Maras salt mines to discover how the Incas extracted this precious mineral through a system of thousands of salt pools, a method that the people of Maras continue to use to this day. From there we will drive about 20 minutes to Moray, an enigmatic Inca agricultural laboratory formed by Andean circular terraces, unique in Peru and in the world, whose first impression is that of a great natural amphitheater. We will visit two of the four sets of terraces existing in the area and, at the end of the experience, we will transfer you back to your hotel.
