Day Itinerary

Cusco – Maras – Moray – Salt Mines – Cusco

Begin your adventure with a convenient 9:00 am pickup from your hotel in Cusco, setting off for a day filled with cultural insights and natural beauty. Upon arrival in the picturesque town of Maras, you’ll meet our skilled rider guides and get acquainted with your horse. After a brief orientation, saddle up for the first leg of your journey to the historic Maras Salt Mines. As you ride, marvel at the intricate network of salt pools, shimmering in the sunlight, a testament to the enduring legacy of Inca innovation.

The trail then winds through the breathtaking landscapes of the Sacred Valley, offering panoramic views of the majestic Andes Mountains. Ride past charming villages and lush farmlands, capturing the essence of local life in the Peruvian highlands. The journey is as much about soaking in the serene beauty of the Andes as it is about exploring its cultural treasures.

A key highlight of the tour is the visit to the Archaeological Complex of Moray. Here, you’ll be captivated by the sight of its unique concentric terraces, an ancient Inca agricultural laboratory. These terraces, varying in altitude, reveal the ingenuity of Inca farming techniques and their deep understanding of micro-climates.

Concluding this enriching day, we aim to return to Cusco by approximately 3:00 pm. This 1-Day Maras Moray Horseback Riding Tour is an ideal outing for anyone seeking to experience the historical gems and scenic landscapes that make this part of Peru truly unforgettable. It’s a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and natural beauty, suitable for families, friends, and solo travelers alike.
