Discover the ingenious legacy of the Inca civilization on this captivating half-day tour from Cusco. Starting with a convenient hotel pickup between 8:00-8:30 AM, you'll journey through the stunning Sacred Valley with panoramic views of snow-capped Andean peaks.

Your adventure begins at Moray, an extraordinary archaeological site at 3500 meters featuring massive circular terraces that served as an ancient agricultural laboratory. Marvel at the Inca's sophisticated understanding of microclimates, where temperature differences of up to 12C allowed them to experiment with crops from various climates.
