We begin our tour in Moray, where we will explore this mysterious archaeological site that displays the advanced agricultural technology of the Incas. From here, we begin a walk that descends gently along a path that crosses varied landscapes full of beauty. As we advance, you will witness stunning views of the Sacred Valley mountain range of Urubamba, with its glaciers shimmering in the distance and crop fields stretching like a mosaic under the Andean sky.
