Features stunning vistas of the snow-capped Urubamba mountain range across high Andean plateaus with morning or afternoon departures.
Pickup from Cusco traveling through the high plateau of Maras. Visit the iconic Salineras de Maras, a surreal landscape of 3,000 terraced white-and-pink salt evaporation pools. Continue to Moray to admire the deep circular concentric terraces engineered by the Incas to simulate microclimates. Return to Cusco.
They are fed by a single subterranean warm saltwater spring, hand-harvested by local community families using methods unchanged for over 600 years.
