Great time!

Alfredo and Marco picked us up from the train station and brought us to see some spectacular views of the salt mines and didn't rush us. He helped us with the translation when purchasing some souvenirs and car was spacious for us both. Would recommend others to also consider Alfredo's service.

Excellent Private tour with Alfredo

Booked a last minute afternoon tour for 2 to Maras and Moray with Alfredo. Had a great time and would totally recommend a tour with Alfredo. He is very knowledgeable about Incan history and traditions. He is a pretty good driver too. We had a comfortable ride in his SUV on a rainy afternoon.

The best ATV trip .

Under the supervision of Alfredo our group of 8 explored 2 historical sites & the area around them. We ranged in ages: 25-67. We all loved it. We were supplied with helmets & light jackets. Alfredo organized the guided, supervised tours. For most of us it was our first ATV experience. We enjoyed the supervised ride & assistance when needed. As well as the knowledge Alfredo demonstrated along the trip. This was our second trip with him as a guide. Knowledgeable, fairly priced & responsible. Highly recommended.

Response from the operator: Dear Fredy, thank you very much for your review, for me was a pleasure to organize this beautiful adventure to the salt mines and Moray to whole your family.

Maras Moray and Salt Mines With Alpaca Farm Private Tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

How much does Maras Moray and Salt Mines With Alpaca Farm Private Tour cost?

+

Prices start at $100 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 Maras Moray and Salt Mines With Alpaca Farm Private Tour take?

+

Plan for about 5 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 Maras Moray and Salt Mines With Alpaca Farm Private Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Maras Moray and Salt Mines With Alpaca Farm Private Tour?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Maras Moray and Salt Mines With Alpaca Farm Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Maras Moray and Salt Mines With Alpaca Farm Private Tour?

+

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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Maras Moray and Salt Mines With Alpaca Farm Private Tour 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.
