On this tour, you’ll drive through the mountains of the valley, which has a milder climate and is at a lower altitude than Cusco and which played a key role in the culture and history of the Incas.

In just 1 day you’ll visit the most important archeological sites of the region including Pisac, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero. As well as the famous circular terraces of Moray and the unique stepped salt mines of Maras. Complete with your own private transport and tour guide.
