These amazing salt mines are only 25 minutes walk from Willka T'ika / Healing Gardens. Just follow the dirt path downriver until you get to the bridge. Then straight up the hill until you see the white pools.

Parks & Nature
This hike or mountain bike is for the adventurous only. Hitch a ride on a colectivo to Pachar (or bike 30 minutes down the Ciclovia). Hike/Bike up the road about 4 km and then it's a steep switchback dirt road (1-2 hrs) until the community of Socma. Once you reach the town, keep hiking up the path for about 45 minutes until you get the waterfalls. You can ask the locals for the "Cascada" or "Cataratas" and they will point you. You can also access the falls from Ollantaytambu which is more scenic (but longer if you don't have a bike!).

Lares is often seen as a 2-3 day trek but if you have Andean lungs (and legs) you can walk there from the Valley in a long day. It took me 13 hours but I was rewarded with natural hot springs and caldo de gallina. Or be a join the locals and go for the annual pilgrimage honoring the Señor de Torrechayoc!

Shopping
If you like ceramics, don't miss this place. They give great tours about how the local ceramics are made and the store is basically an art museum.

Although quite touristy, the textile markets of Chinchero are a colorful introduction to Andean handicrafts. Combine a trip there with a hike to the some of the nearby sights or down the valley to Urquillos.

Food Scene
Great vibe and organic options. Great place to bring kids with tons of games and play areas. Note the new location is on Avenida Mariscal Castilla, which is not listed on this map. The old location (Av Berriozabal) is now a health food store -- still worth visiting but not for lunch!

This lovely bistro is a great place to get your protein mix and it's one of the few places where we will eat alpaca or fish from the Amazon. The owners are a lovely young couple: She used to be a chef at a top hotel in Urubamba and her husband makes his own Pisco macerato. They usually open around 1PM through dinner but good idea to call first.
