ITINERARY
DAY 1: Cusco - Maras Moray - Cusco
We will go on to the picturesque town of Maras. It is located at an altitude of 3,380 meters above sea level. This is a small village famous for its salt mines which consist of about 3000 small pools with an average area of about 5m² from which salt is extracted after a drying process. The Salt mines, better known as “Salineras de Maras”, have been exploited since Incan times as a means of economic exchange. 7 km from Maras, we will arrive at the archaeological site of Moray. We will see the greatness of the circular terraces of Incan agriculture. Moray is a group of circular terraces which was used as an agricultural experimental center. The Incas used it to study the adaptation of plants to new ecosystems. The overlapping circular stone rings widen as they rise and it has a total depth of 150 m.
