ITINERARY
Our guided Urubamba Variety tour starts by collecting you from your hotel. We then transfer you to Maras in approximately 50 minutes. Maras is situated at about 50 kilometers northwest of Cusco. Its altitude is at 3,300 meters (10,824 ft). It was a pre-Inca settlement and around this area there are a large amount of pottery pieces from the Chanapata culture. Its occupation began when the Cusquenian Inca noblemen were dispossessed of their palaces. Many of its houses are emblazoned with Spanish nobility coats of arms on their lintels.
After Maras town, we will visit Moray which is situated at about 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) southwest from the dusty roads of Maras. This used to be an experimental biological station where the Incas domesticated and acclimatized wild vegetable species. At last, we will visit Salineras. These salt pans are said to be an Inca salt mine. It was constructed in a slope of the Qaqawiñay Mountain.
We then return to Cusco. Our services end with leaving you at your hotel.
