Ollantaytambo: The ruins of Ollantaytambo are the best alternative on your trip to Machu Picchu. You should try to stay in Ollantaytambo town for one night, the ruins are just as beautiful as Machu Picchu and even easier to visit!
The town of Ollantaytambo is one of the most original and best preserved pre-Inca and Inca towns in Peru, many of the houses date back to the Incas and are made of a combination of stone and adobe (mud and straw). Ollantaytambo is probably the most original and picturesque, which still preserves much of its traditional culture. The old Inca streets, houses and waterways are even more beautiful at night.

Pisac: The ruins of Pisac are located at 3,300 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l.). The town of Pisac is located at 2,974 m.a.s.l. the climate varies from 2ºC. to 21ºC. There are 2 seasons: the dry season (April to October). The days are mostly sunny and temperatures are cold at night. The best time to visit Pisac is from (April to November). During these months there is less chance of rain so the excursion is easier. It is recommended to visit it in the early morning hours.

The charming town of Pisac is an increasingly popular option for travelers looking to escape the crowds and get a little closer to everyday life in Peru. Located in a beautiful part of the Sacred Valley, its cobblestone streets are home to photogenic flashes of traditional rural life and the town’s clothing is also home to some of the most popular markets in southern Peru.

Moray ruins: The archaeological site of Moray is located 7 kilometers from the town of Maras, in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, 39 kilometers from the city of Cusco and 3,500 meters above sea level.

Moray can be visited as part of the half day Sacred Valley tour, Moray is open from 7am to 6pm, to visit you need to buy the tourist ticket.

The site of Moray is an unusual Inca ruin dug into the ground in the form of terraces in the shape of a staircase. They look like an amphitheatre that was dug out of the ground. These 4 level bowls were once used by ancient civilizations and later also by the Inca civilization as an agricultural laboratory for the purpose of experimenting with different conditions for growing crops as well as different varieties of food.

Maras Salt Mines: The Maras salt mines are located 46 kilometers from the city of Cusco in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The Saltwater-filled pools are carved into the side of the Qaqawiñay mountain, 3,380 meters (11,080 ft) from the sea.

The Salt mines of Maras are 10 kilometers away from the town of Maras. From the city of Cusco to the Maras Salt mines is approximately 50 kilometers away. To get to the Salineras de Maras from the city of Cusco you must take a bus to Urubamba and stop at a turn-off that leads up to Maras town, from there you should continue for 15 minutes by car.

The salt Ponds have been used since the time of the Incas and before. There are about 5000 salt pans currently, which still work in the same way as in Inca times, the locals extract salt in the traditional way, each salt pond can contain about 70 to 100 kilos, the harvest is monthly.
