Arequipa - Saltmines - Sacred Valley

This action-packed day starts with a private transfer from your hotel to the airport and then a flight to Cusco. Upon arrival, another transfer takes you to the Sacred Valley. Dive right in with exploration of Moray's ruins, including enormous circular depressions that may have been Inca agricultural terraces. Next, head to Maras to witness the Salineras salt mines, a marvel of engineering with stunning views. These white salt pans, nestled in the mountains, reflect the sunlight like gold. Afterward, you'll be transferred to your Sacred Valley hotel, located at a lower altitude to aid acclimatization. The charming boutique hotel allows you to relax and enjoy the peacefulness of the valley, while providing a base for further exploration of Incan history and life. The evening is free for you to unwind at your leisure.
