Solo Traveller

This was a wonderful tour that covered the highlights of the Sacred Valley and Maras Moray in one day. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and he explained everything in detail. We visited the Pisac market, where we saw the local crafts and products, the Ollantaytambo ruins, where we learned about the Inca architecture and engineering, and the Maras salt mines, where we marveled at the thousands of salt pools. We also stopped at Moray, where we saw the circular terraces that were used as an agricultural experiment by the Incas. The tour was well organized, with comfortable transportation, lunch, and entrance fees included. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the best of the Sacred Valley and Maras Moray in a short time.
