Best of Peru's Sacred Valley: Maras Salt Mines and Moray Ruins 🇵🇪

From Ollantaytambo, we were able to plan a fun little day trip to the Maras Salt Mines and the Moray Ruins. We hired a driver for the morning and enjoyed a very scenic drive through the Sacred Valley to our two destinations. A busy morning called for a more relaxing afternoon and evening, and we enjoyed trying what Mark Twain claims to be “the most delicious fruit known to man,” as well as a tasty dinner feast with a view. 🇵🇪

Those salt pools were so interesting looking! We went to an underground salt mine in Austria years ago, and it's so interesting to learn about. Excited for the Machu Picchu video coming up!

[@isabelmendi3973]

Don’t forget to have “ seco de carrito con arroz” have papas rellenas, my most favorite can’t go wrong with “ olluquitos” These are my most favorite foods and you already had lomo saltado , its great eating in Peru. Keep having fun.

[@Erinonyoutube]

It's so great to see your videos as we're also in Cusco right now and sometimes we would walk by a place and said oh that's where Clair and Chad went! Thank you for sharing!

[@irenevan1]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for coming along with us! :)

[@ShawNshawN]

Have fun guys. Looks like a blast.

[@robertabrams8562]

Oh my gosh, that Alpaca Steak looked PERFECTLY COOKED! The salt farms were very impressive! I use pink Himalayan salt, and I absolutely love it! I personally think Durian is the greatest fruit on earth, but EVERYONE disagrees with me (sorry Mark Twain lol)! I cannot wait for your next video 👍🏼

[@ChadandClaire]

Oooh we will have to try a Durian! Claire has had one before, but I have not. Thanks for watching Robert! :) Excited to share our next video!

[@mechpilot5861]

[@Danny-mj8hr]

Your vlogs relax me so much...amazing!! Thanks :)

[@lechwe13]

Wish you had made these videos before I went in 2016. Great tips and really brings back memories of the places I visited. One question though. How do you go about finding the restaurants that are off the beaten path and not so tourist focused (Cheaper local food)?

[@jasperdunord1702]

Wow... for the salt mines!!! Thanks for sharing! Cheers and stay safe.

[@ccj7942]

Excited for the diy mp video/tour! ♥

[@ndevera100]

I love your videos. I like the histories of each place.

[@ndevera100]

Very cute couple. You remind me of the Frugal Travellers.

[@valeriehancotte-galan4790]

I also have a Transit Connect, so watching with great interest :))

[@sharonoldham4374]

Hello Chad and Claire! Actually there are more than 4,000 varieties of potatoes in my country Perú

[@birdman5223]

[@TrailsweTrack]

Chad & clair.. 💘 you guys.

[@Mysticcycles]

Will you be visiting Pisac? Loving these videos! Dying to go back to Peru!

[@samirusudharaka9248]

We love you guys...!! Safe travel. In Sri lanka we also have fruit similar to this fruit. Name as "Anona"

[@analuisaproenca8221]

Greetings from Portugal! We call it Anona too :)

[@derykmacleod4979]

that poor alpaca lol... I have never seen anything like the salt mines before...I have heard of the pink salt before heard they also get it from the Himalayas. Dragon Egg fruit...interesting. The ruins were amazing, the sky is so blue....too bad about the fee for using a drone, would have let you explore even more. Looking forward to the next video.

[@ndevera100]

We call it guyabano in the Phil. It’s a very healthy fruit.

[@wayneholmes2702]

You both are so cool and thanks for traveling to our beautiful Peru. Only thing maybe less about prices and savings money maybe talk about people and meet some of the awesome people here in Peru.

[@scottmaytham3578]

I left some ramen noodles in a pan with some water over night once.Let's say I know why they're so filling now.

[@djcompton4979]

Hats! Yay!!!!

[@ChadandClaire]

Thanks for the reminder! Our eyes and skin thank you!

[@AbrahamValdelomar6468]

Hi. They should have tried the Caldo de Cabeza de Carnero or Patasca.

[@roneykaithpalmaria]

Hahaha chad excited with his knife 😂

[@umiracoma272]

Try visit Cebu, Philippines

[@seattlesunshine568]

Which restaurant was that? The food looks amazing. We are traveling there begining of July.

[@holleym2927]

And now I'm starving!!!! That food was amazing!!! And the scenery was pretty awesome too! Safe travels!

[@ChadandClaire]

Thanks Holley!! We really loved the food that day! Hope you're well!

[@ivyy3996]

Neat video. What is the restaurant called to try the alpaca steak?

[@rvghelaniify]

Great video. Are we allowed to fly a drone in Moray? Is there a fee?

[@wanderlust_alpaca]

Hello, do you remember the name of the restaurant where you had the alpaca steak?

[@edison222007]

I believed 2k+ is only in the southern part of Peru. There are more than 4K types of potatoes all over Peru.

[@valeriehancotte-galan4790]

LIKE AND SHARE!!!!!!

[@prosticorpproduction5400]

What was the name of the restaurant that you ate the alpaca steak ?

[@vee7086]

Did I miss the restaurant name? If so can someone lmk the name? Heading to Peru in OCT!

[@TR44NG]

Hi guys! Just wondering how did you go about finding a driver to hire in Peru?

[@omerhadi]

What does the chocolate taste like? Did you like it?🤔

[@ChadandClaire]

The chocolate was delightful! It tasted like smooth milk chocolate with sea salt. Guess we didn't describe the taste, our bad!

[@Kae648]

Any tips for hiring a driver to do similar thing? Or can you share your contact? We’re going next week!!

[@luisomargavanchoanaya2739]

The Machu Picchu town has been affected by an avalanche of mud and stones recently.

[@cristinao3710]

Cherimoya is $8-10 each here in CA. 😑

[@danielleshekoni8047]

What restaurant did you have dinner?

[@timbeauregard4809]

Yes, I would like to know as well. I will be staying 3 nights in Ollantaytambo, 2 weeks from now, and want to visit that restaurant with the Alpaca steak.

[@timbeauregard4809]

Just did a little research. In the video they went thru a passage and I saw the name Veronica. Found that there is a nice restaurant named "Apu Veronica".

[@timbeauregard4809]

Went there and had the Alpaca steak. Wish I could upload a photo. The waitress Jessica is such a sweetie pie.

[@edsecce5685]

Alpaca meat besides being delicious is very healthy for its lower content of cholesterol and fat

[@ndevera100]

The Incan Peru were the first to cultivate potatoes ….did you know that?
