Maras and Moray Tour, by Mountain Bike




Maras and Moray are two amazing attractions located within a short distance of each other, creating the perfect half-day tour in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Maras is famous for its salt evaporation ponds, which have been in use since at least Inca times. Moray, meanwhile, is an Inca archaeological site that looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Built as an agricultural laboratory of sorts, it consists of several large terraced circular depressions that were used to test crop production in various microclimates. Together, these two sites provide one of the most fascinating spectacles in the Cusco Region.
Our Maras to Moray half-day biking tour is suitable for all types of riders. The route consists of a series of fairly easy sections that cover about 35 KM / 22 miles in total. We will pass through small villages and see wonderful sweeping views of the high Andean plains of the Sacred Valley and the surrounding mountains. If we are lucky, we can spot stunning flora and fauna, including colorful hummingbirds and butterflies, as we cycle on our way to Maras and Moray.
This full-day mountain bike tour will begin when we pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at around 8 AM. We’ll then drive to the town of Chinchero, which we will visit briefly before getting our bikes and setting off. At around 01h30 we’ll reach Moray, which we’ll have plenty of time to explore. Then we’ll cycle to the town of Maras, where we can see some of the town’s 38 colonial doors, visit some local artisans, and learn how to prepare chicha, the local fermented corn brew. At around 13h00. we’ll have a boxed lunch and then set off towards the salt evaporation ponds, where we can enjoy this wonderful sight and learn about the salt evaporation process.
Once we’ve spent enough time at Maras, it will be time to jump back into our vehicle for the trip back to Cusco. We Should arrive at around 17h30 (Approx).
