CUSCO - MORAY RUINS & SALT MINES OF MARAS

Very early in the morning, between 4:00 and 4:30 AM, we will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco. We will embark on our journey, driving towards the district of Quehue in the Canas province. After a 3-hour drive, we’ll enjoy a nutritious breakfast before visiting the last remaining Inca bridge!

The Q’eswachaka bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is woven from an Andean grass that only grows at high altitudes. In the ancient Inca Empire, there were around 200 Inca bridges, but only one remains today: Q’eswachaka, located over 100 km from Cusco. Many of these bridges were destroyed during the Spanish conquest, but Q’eswachaka is renewed every June through an ancient ceremony celebrated by local communities. We will have ample time to photograph and admire the breathtaking landscape of this remarkable site. Our local guide will share insights into the bridge's history and Incan culture. Following this visit, we’ll continue by transport for an additional hour to reach the circuit of four lakes (Pomacanchi, Acopia, Asnaqocha, and Pampamarca). Here, we will have lunch with a stunning view of one of these lakes and time to explore and appreciate the incredible natural beauty of the area. Finally, we will return to Cusco and drop you off at Plaza Regocijos.

FAQs

How can I prepare for the hike and prevent altitude sickness?

The best way to prepare yourself for this trekking experiencee is easy: spend at least 2 to 3 days at a high-altitude place like Cusco, so your body gets used to the high altitude. If you have already been to a high altitude destination before arriving to Cusco, we still recommend you spend at least one full day in Cusco to rest, recuperate from your trip, and enjoy the beautiful views of the city before your trek.

Additionally, taking good care of your body helps deal with the extra pressures that altitude creates. We recommend you to eat healthy food, drink lots of water and stay away from alcohol. Chewing coca leaves, drinking coca tea helps to alleviate any discomfort associated with the altitude.
