The Salt Mines of Maras are located 50 km in the northeast of Cusco city, at an altitude of 3,200 m.a.s.l. Geographically, they are located in the lower part of the sub-basin and left bank of the Salineras stream, towards its mouth in the river Vilcanota, in the jurisdiction of the peasant communities of Maras and Pichingoto, between the gorge of the Qaqahuiñay, Cruz Mocco, Llully Mocco and Chupayoq hills. It has three access roads: from the town of San Francisco de Maras, through the bridle path or “runañan” to the salt mines, the road affirmed from the town of San Francisco de Maras, and crossing the Inca bridge of Tarabamba by the Pichingoto community.

They were a no show. AVOID AVOID.
I rate them ZERO. A sham and dodgy company. We have waited 2.5 hours for a pickup. Hotel has called them multiple times - both numbers apparently switched off! Website says 24/7 availability. Tripadvisor sent me multiple confirmations of my booking and advice to print tickets in lead up to our tour the last of which I received just days before. My once in a lifetime trip ruined! Now we haven’t anytime to look at rebooking and do the sacred valley and we also now need to spend time chasing a refund from trip-advisor. Words cannot express the dismay and disappointment we feel right now toward this company. I believe in karma, and yes it is coming to get you!!! You should be ashamed not just for your poor and unscrupulous practices, but for shaming your own people’s. Peruvians are wonderful for the most part, our Hótel staff were so apologetic and ashamed of you and the reputation and impression you created for them and tourism in Peru.
Response from the operator: It is very good to have your comment and in fact we take part of this as a very primordial way since this will allow us in the future to take things very carefully. however, we simply inform you due to the lack of coordination in emails, or phone calls. we do not have direct access to that. and many times your telephone line is international. We have made the cordinations of the services but our suppliers and servers made a mixture and did not provide the requested service. in advance, we only need to send you our apologies and setbacks. of course his money return was made. Personally as Owner of the travel agency, I was traveling for health reasons and I could not take quick action on the facts, and on my return I could see the bad practice and organization of these services. In fact I have already taken action on what happened. and since we are a very serious agency and with very good grades and comments can not incur failures. We thank you again for your trust and my sincere apologies to you.

Richard is the best—highly recommend his tour!!
We had an amazing time on our private tour of the Sacred Valley!! Richard is extremely knowledgeable and personable, our day with him was elevated by his vast knowledge of the history, spirituality, and the overall rich culture of the Inca people. His enthusiasm for educating us and willingness to answer our many questions was such a wonderful complement to the sites he took us to visit. We didn’t initially have a Sacred Valley tour planned and we are so glad we decided to book a tour with Richard—it was one of the highlights of our trip!
Response from the operator: Dear Costumer. I appreciate your comment a lot and the time i take you to do the same. in fact every day we do the best of us to be able to offer you the best option and travel with us safely and guaranteed, but also enjoy your entire trip. Thank you very much and we await your recommendations.

Full Day Tour Sacred Valley | Pisaq | Ollantaytambo & Salt Mines: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Full Day Tour Sacred Valley | Pisaq | Ollantaytambo & Salt Mines cost?
+
Prices start at $130 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Tour Sacred Valley | Pisaq | Ollantaytambo & Salt Mines take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is Full Day Tour Sacred Valley | Pisaq | Ollantaytambo & Salt Mines worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Tour Sacred Valley | Pisaq | Ollantaytambo & Salt Mines?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 72 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Tour Sacred Valley | Pisaq | Ollantaytambo & Salt Mines suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour Sacred Valley | Pisaq | Ollantaytambo & Salt Mines?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Tour Sacred Valley | Pisaq | Ollantaytambo & Salt Mines start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
