Tour Description

First day: Tour to Maras, Moray and Salt Mines.

Upon your arrival, you will meet with our staff who will be waiting for you at the airport or bus station, holding a sign with your name. You will be transported to your hotel in Cusco to leave behind anything that you do not need for the following days. Later we begin our journey through the rolling mountain ranges, along roads where we will see many farms and small villages. We will first make a stop at Moray, considered as Inca’s agricultural research centre where they conducted experiments of crops at different heights. Here, you’ll see a large complex of terraced circular depressions in the earth which historians believe that they were used to study the climatic conditions on crops. As you descend each layer, the surrounding temperature descends as well, degree by degree, making for a unique and highly sophisticated thermo graphic tool. Continuing with our tour, we will visit the famous Salineras known by some as “salt mines” which are constituted by about 3000 small wells, constructed in the slope of “Qaqawiñay” mountain. Salt water comes from a natural spring located at the top of the well where water evaporates and the salt contained in it gradually solidifies. Those wells are owned by locals.
