Solo Traveller

This was a great half-day tour to see some of the unique attractions of the Sacred Valley. The guide was very knowledgeable and explained the history and significance of each site. Maras is a fascinating place where you can see thousands of salt pools that have been used since pre-Inca times. Moray is an impressive complex of circular terraces that were used as an agricultural laboratory by the Incas. The tour was well organized, with comfortable transportation and enough time to enjoy the views and take pictures. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see a different side of the Sacred Valley
