DAY 1
Chinchero
- Nestled amidst the Andean peaks, Chinchero offers a glimpse into Peru’s rich cultural and historical tapestry. At 3762 meters, this charming town boasts stunning views of Salkantay, Veronica, Chinkon, and Sahuasiray Pitusiray. Explore its cobblestone streets and marvel at its Inca architecture and colonial church. Don’t miss the vibrant Sunday market, where age-old bartering customs come to life.
Moray
- The enigmatic terraces of Moray, resembling a natural amphitheater, are believed to have been used by the Incas for innovative farming experiments. Their varying elevations created distinct microclimates, ideal for cultivating diverse crops in the Andean landscape. Witness the ingenuity of ancient agricultural practices amidst breathtaking scenery.
Maras Salt Mines
- Perched along the slopes of Qaqawiñay mountain, the Maras salt mines form a pre-Inca marvel. Here, nearly 3,000 shallow pools, fed by a hypersaline spring, produce exquisite pink-hued salt. Hand-harvested by local families, these salts bear the essence of the Andean landscape, rich in trace minerals like calcium and magnesium.
