Moray and the Salt Mines of Maras Tour

During my stay in Cusco, I toured Rainbow Mountain, the Sacred Valley, and Moray and the Salt Mines of Maras.  All of them were very special places to visit, and I’m glad I made time to see each place, that I did not do during my visit 15 years ago to hike Machu Picchu.

As I’ve mentioned in previous blog posts there are several different companies offering the same tours, typically with a small twist.  Despite almost identical visits, the prices vary.  One of the most budget friendly tour companies, popular with a younger crowd, is Machu Picchu Reservations. 

The prices were so low that I was hesitant to reserve any tours online with this company in advance of my arrival.  But once I landed in Cusco and all my plans were derailed due to illness, I was glad to be able to make some last-minute bookings with them, especially when I realized the tours didn’t differ much.
