Itinerary and highlights
Moray is a fascinating archaeological site which lies approximately 45km (28 miles) north-west of Cusco and about 6km (4 miles) west of the village of Maras. The site consists of several enormous circular depressions made from concentric circular stone terraces which diminish in size towards the middle in a similar fashion to an amphitheater. The largest depression is almost 30m deep. The purpose of these structures is uncertain but their design and orientation create a range of micro-climates with temperature differences of as much as 15 C (27 F) between the top and bottom terrace.
Maras is a town in the Sacred Valley, where an ancient custom still practiced: the use of salt preincaicas pools. These amazing constructions continue to provide the city and our country its pink salt, which has been recommended by experts as a healthy choice for flavoring foods because of its healing properties. In addition to their nutritional value, Maras are often visited for its spectacular scenery. Here you will find everything you need to know about this historical wonder hidden in the Andes.
