At your hotel, we will have a briefing early in the morning the day of the tour and then take private transport to the town of Maras. During the trip to Maras, we will pass through spectacular and beautiful landscapes.
Before starting the ride, will give an introduction to the world of horsemanship and then allow you a period of familiarization with your horse.
Our horseback ride begins at the branch of Maras Tiobamba Temple where you will have a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire Cordillera Urubamba valley. We head to the town of Maras, located at 3,465 meters above sea level. Maras is famous for its salt mines and ancient method of obtaining it, as well as its colonial doorways. On our ride you will see an impressive panoramic view of the Cordillera Urubamba and the snow-capped mountains of El Chicon, Veronica and Puma Huanca, that rise along the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
We continue our journey through beautiful landscapes surrounded by mountains and marked by agriculture and livestock of local farmers. After riding an hour and a half, we arrive at the archaeological site of Moray. It is also known for being the agricultural “laboratory” for the Incas, because of their method to adapting the different seeds to the local soil and to harvesting.
After visiting Moray, we get back on our horses find a quiet and relaxing place for lunch. After our lunch, we will head through the town of Maras. After the visit to Maras, continue to ride for an hour and a half to the salt mines.
Maras is at an altitude of 3,500 meters. It covers a large area on the slopes of the hills and consists of about 3,000 natural pools of salt water where salt is extracted for human consumption. After the visit to the salt mines, we will continue our journey to the Pichingoto, community nestled in the Sacred Valley at the base of the mountain Qoriq'aqya. It is a Quechua community dedicated mainly to agriculture.
We will have the opportunity to see the caves where old settlements lived and stored there crops. Some caves are on high levels of the mountain and ropes and ladders had to be used to reach them. After the visit to the village of Pichingoto Vilcanota, we cross the river to reach the road leading from Urubamba to Ollantaytambo. From here, we have the choice of taking the transport to the city of Cusco or to the town of Ollantaytambo.
