Sacred Valley VIP
About this tour
The VIP Sacred Valley of the Incas adds two of the most photogenic places in Cusco to the classic route: the circular terraces of Moray, an Inca agricultural laboratory, and the Maras salt pans, more than three thousand salt pools worked since pre-Inca times.
We travel in a small group, with more time at each site, a professional guide and a Novo-Andean buffet lunch in Urubamba.
