👇TAKE A LOOK TO ALL THE INFORMATION 👇
To start this wonderful day mountain biking tour around Maras Moray and salt mines, we will pick you up from your hotel at 8:00 am. and drive 45 minutes to arrive in Cruz Pata (it is a part of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour route) where we will start the bike tour.
We will pass by a local farm and small villages where the local people are doing their daily life, after 1 hour and a half of riding we will arrive at Moray, a unique archaeological site in the region.
It consists of enormous depressions or holes in the surface of the ground, where Incas built gigantic terraces to use as a center for agricultural experimentation.
What is surprising is that the average annual temperature is different between the top and bottom.
After visiting Moray we continue towards (DownHill) to the northwest of the village Maras and arrive at the famous “Salt Mines“.
The “salt mines” consist of about more than 4000 small pools with an average surface of 5 m², built on a slope of the mountain “Qaqawiñay”.
People fill or “water” the pools with saltwater emanating from a natural spring located at the top of the complex, then we continue to Urubamba, where we take a transport service to return to Cusco (6 p.m.).
The biking tour around Moray is one of the best options to acclimatize your body, it is highly recommended doing physical activities before traveling to Machu Picchu by train or for longer adventures such as the Inca Trail, Salkantay Trail or lares trek to Machu Picchu.

We took the private 1 day tour of Machu Picchu +Wayna Picchu hike w/ Beto. He was a fantastic guide -so knowledgable and friendly. He knew all the stops, tips... read more and tricks to get us the. best photos and experience away from the crowds. Inka Time was very responsive to all our questions during booking, and also preparation leading up to the trip. The drivers showed up at the hotel and train station on time, gave us all the necessary info to prepare, and a representative met us in Cusco a few days before to provide specifics on the itinerary. We felt like we were in great hands with Inka Time and would highly recommend
I did a day trip with Inka Time to Machu Picchu! It was such a wonderful experience! They made it very easy for us at every stop, picking us up... read more or having someone wait for us. The best part of the experience was Jesus our tour guide!!! He was so knowledgeable and very fun and easy to be around. I loved learning from him and also spending the day at Machu Picchu with him! Overall great time! Thank you Inka Time!
Great Experience! We did a 3-day tour with them (Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Lake Humantay). Our point of contact, Veronica, was excellent and answered all our questions. Our guides... read more for all 3 days provided great insights to the history and culture of the landscape and temples, and were very nice! We booked a private tour with Elvis for Machu Picchu and it was worth the extra money.

From the start, Beto was fast and great at communicating with us while my friends and I were planning our trip. He answered our many questions about the different tours... read more and even remembered details about our trip since one of my friends took on the communicator role with him after I initially reached out.
Beto and Inkatime customized our tour so that we saw the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Rainbow Mountain in 3 days. Our whole time in Cusco we were taken care of with organized taxi rides from our drop off points to our accommodations. Elizabeth was great at organizing these details and communicating with us the details of our tour a day in advance. She even rode in the taxi with us to one our accommodations in Cusco when we were concerned about its location. Inkatime, Beto, and Elizabeth really took care of my friends and I during our trip to Peru.
We would highly recommend booking your tours with them and have already recommended them to our friends. When we go back to Peru, we’ll definitely be using this tour agency again.
