Tour Description
This tour starts with pick up service from your respective hotels, between 08:30 hrs y 09:30 hrs. We are going to visit:
Maras.
Pre Inca village inhabited discontinuously, their major occupation began when the Cusco’s nobles Incas were stripped of their palaces in Cusco and had to leave to settle in other small towns like San Sebastian and Maras. From here, we can see part of the Urubamba Cordillera, the snowy peaks and beautiful landscapes.
Moray
Considered as an Inca agricultural research centre where experiments were conducted testing the growth of crops at different heights. The location of its platforms produces gradient microclimates, with higher temperatures the centre of the concentric circular terrace and gradually decreasing outward to lower temperatures, thus being able to simulate up to 20 different types of microclimates. It is believed that Moray could have served as a model for the calculation of agricultural production not only for Urubamba Valley also for different parts of Tawantinsuyu.
Salineras or Salt Mines.
The famous salt mines of Maras are constituted of about 3000 small wells, constructed in a slope of the “Qaqawiñay” mountain. During dry season are filled up each 3 days with salty water that comes from a natural spring located at the top of the wells. Water evaporates and the salt contained in it gradually solidifies. The ancient technique it still used today by the locals, who are producing a unique tasting salt which is reddish in colour.
