Description

Discover the mysterious otherwordly Inca terraces at Moray and the Maras salt mines on this private half-day tour from Cusco.
Depart after breakfast at the hotel, heading along the Sacred Valley towards the archaeological site of Moray, approximately an hour and a half away. As with many Inca ruins, its exact function remains a mystery though the design of ever-wider concentric circular terraces meant each level had a different microclimate.

Continue to Maras, where the salt ponds create a dazzling scene. The thousands of small ponds give work to and help feed many local families. During Inca times, the salt deposits were an important economic center and of great value to the imperial economy. After the tour, transfer back to your hotel.

Highlights

  • Explore Maras, a salt extraction center that has been operating since the time of the Incas.
  • They are large deposits of salt used for exchange for other products with other regions of the empire.
  • Admire Moray, an enormous construction of concentric circles that worked as an agricultural laboratory.
  • Some investigators say that Moray would be an agricultural research center.
