Mil Centro + Maras & Moray Private Tour

Make the most of your visit to the Sacred Valley by combining a world-class culinary experience with the region’s most iconic archaeological wonders. Our Mil Centro and Moray Private Tour is specially designed for foodies and history lovers who want to explore the ancient roots of the ingredients served at Virgilio Martínez’s restaurant.

Since Mil Centro is located right at the edge of the Moray Inca Laboratory, this tour is the best way to understand the high-altitude ecosystems you are about to taste. Before or after your reservation, we take you on a journey through history, visiting the circular terraces that inspired the restaurant’s concept.
