    What you'll see and do

    1. Maras Moray Tours

      Moray was possibly an Inca agricultural research center where crop experiments were carried out at different heights, the layout of its platforms produces a gradient of microclimates with the center of concentric circular platforms having a higher temperature and gradually decreasing towards the outside. lower temperatures, thus being able to simulate up to 20 different types of microclimates. It is believed that Moray could have served as a model for the calculation of agricultural production not only of the Urubamba Valley but also of different parts of the Tahuantinsuyo or territory of the Incas.

    2. Salinas de Maras

      Salt ponds embedded in salt in Maras resemble a layer of snow that covers the slope of Qoripujio mountain in the distance. It is a spectacular sight. Each of the more than 3000 pools have different shades of white or brown. The salt of Maras has been collected since pre-Inca times and travelers are invited to see this centennial tradition in operation. During the 12th century and the middle of the 14th century, the Inca Empire took over the operation of Maras. The Incas seasoned and preserved their food with salt. They may also have used the ore for mummification and other religious ceremonies. Ownership and management of the individual salt mines were given to families living in the nearby community of Maras. The same salt extraction process used by these families during Inca times has been transmitted from generation to generation and is still practiced today.

    Beautiful place, full of peace and beautiful views..

    According to our guide Moray I represent an Inca research lavatory, a real construction to admire being from that time and Salineras de Maras an ancient salt factory of the Incas, you can even take a little for your consumption. All this surrounded by a landscape full of peace and mountains or Apus. It is worth visiting and learning more about Inca history. I really liked these tours, very grateful!

I searched them on the nets, they have very good references and the truth was, the attention was very warm and the guide that everything was very well informed of these places, I could know a little more of the great culture of the Inkas. I really enjoyed the excursion, the very patient guide absolved all my doubts. I am very satisfied with my reservation, thank you very much Peru Vip Viajes.

    Interests Places to Visit

    Interesting archaeological sites to visit. According to the knowledge of our Guide the Moray terraces served as an agricultural laboratory to experience crops at different heights. In the salt pans, on the other hand, natural salt was obtained from a mysterious water coming down from a mountain near the place.

    Tour Salineras de Maras and Moray in Private with Peru Vip: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tour Salineras de Maras and Moray in Private with Peru Vip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $123 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 Tour Salineras de Maras and Moray in Private with Peru Vip take?

    +

    Plan for about 5.5 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 Tour Salineras de Maras and Moray in Private with Peru Vip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 Tour Salineras de Maras and Moray in Private with Peru Vip?

    +

    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 Tour Salineras de Maras and Moray in Private with Peru Vip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tour Salineras de Maras and Moray in Private with Peru Vip?

    +

    Around 5 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 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tour Salineras de Maras and Moray in Private with Peru Vip 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, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), 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.

    What is included in Tour Salineras de Maras and Moray in Private with Peru Vip?
