From Cusco: Maras, Moray & Machu Picchu Full-Day Tour

in Chinchero, where you will join a traditional weaving workshop. The guided tour will bring you to the non-traditional Maras Moray. Then you drive to the salt mines located 7 KM from Moray. To the northwest of the town of Maras,  you will find around 2000 small wells that local people still use today to provide themselves with salt. Next is Urubamba for lunch. In the afternoon you will visit the village of Ollantaytambo and the Inca Archaeological site of Ollantaytambo which has a history similar to that of Romeo & Juliet that the guide will explain to you in more detail. From Ollantaytambo, you will board a train to Aguas Calientes where you will spend the night.

A walk up the Machu Picchu Mountain is necessary in order to attain entrance to the site (you can always take the bus back). You will meet your guide at the entrance to start your 2-hour guided tour and afterward you will have free time to explore on your own. Those who reserved Huayna Picchu or Montana will be brought to the entrance to start an exceptional climb over this Incan marvel. Later in the afternoon, you will board a train from Aguas Calientes at 19:00 PM to Ollantaytambo. Remember to be at the station in Aguas Calientes at least 30 minutes in advance. In Ollantaytambo, there will be a driver waiting just outside the exit of the station to bring you back to Cusco by bus.
