The true hidden paths of the Inca Valley are Maras Moray tour.
Maras unexpected beauty are on its salt fields that are shining against the blue sky or reflecting in contrasting the green valleys on their side of the mountains, making this salt rocks an incredible to see.
The mystery of Moray still unknown on the purpose on their circular design. Like many Inca constructions it has an irrigation system and terraces but still questions on their structural depressions similar a Roman coliseum. Some say it was for agricultural experiments on different crops but their depth, design, and orientation with respect to wind and sun creates a temperature difference of as much as 15 °C (27 °F).
The Maras Moray tour will make a difference on your visit to the Urubamba Valley.

The half-day excursion is amazing! Our guide was knowledgeable, patient, and overall wonderful. He took us to a local collaborative, where we learned how textiles are made and colored. Then we visited Maras and Moray, where we learned a lot and soaked up the grandeur of it all. Absolutely recommend the trip.
I also want to give a shout out to Miguel Cuba, who helped coordinate our whole week in Peru, including troubleshooting our plans when we had to get off the Inca trail due to a medical emergency. He was with us every step of the way and was extremely helpful! Could not thank him more!!!

We were picked up at 9:00 am to go to Maras Salt Mines first and then Moray. Our driver, Jeffrey, was very good despite the bumpy road conditions. We went during rainy season which meant we were not able to actually walk around salt mines -- we just viewed from different terraces - still very cool though. The entrance fee is about $8 US dollars. Then we went to Moray where the entrance fee was about $30 US dollars but a sight to see. I recommend going not during the high season to avoid crowds. Elizabeth was our guide and she was fabulous! She even gave us the option to stop by a local textiles place on the way back to Cusco to see how the local women dye and sew alpaca fur. A great half day tour to book in between excursions if you're not too tired. We got back around 2:30.

At the beginning of the tour, the tour guide was 20 min late and additionally we had to wait 10 more minutes before our driver arrived.
Both sights were quite interesting and definitely worth it to visit. Our tour guide provided great insides of Peru’s history and the sights.
Nevertheless, i wished to receive more insides on the production and background of the salt plantations.
Additionally as there was just the guide and the pick up included, it was quite expensive.
Afterwords we discovered that driving with a Uber is only ~200 soles, which would have been way less.

The Maras salt mines were incredible! Definitely a must-see but be sure to bring the entrance fee of 10 soles with you. We did not see Moray due to the fact that you need a separate Cusco city ticket 70 I think to see it. The salt mines were definitely worth it though and our tour guides were so nice.
