The Sacred Valley of the Incas is home to the archaeological site of Moray, a place with agricultural terraces that, at first glance, look like amphitheaters. These concentric terraces were built by the Incas as an agricultural laboratory. Each of its terraces has its own microclimate, according to the depth at which it is located.

The salt mines themselves are made up of a set of approximately
4,500 salt pools located in the form of stepped terraces on the middle slope of the Qaqawiñay hill with slopes of 20 degrees incline to the bottom of the ravine on the left bank of the Salineras stream, with dimensions that fluctuate around 5 linear meters, occupying a total area of ​​approximately 1.5 to 2 hectares

Historical Significance:

Ollantaytambo was a strategic military, religious, and agricultural center during the Inca Empire.

Built by Inca emperor Pachacuti in the 15th century as a royal estate.

Later used by Manco Inca Yupanqui as a stronghold during his resistance against the Spanish conquest (notably the Battle of Ollantaytambo in 1537 — a rare Inca victory).

Today, it's considered one of the best-preserved examples of Inca city planning.

Immerse yourself in Peruvian culture with this unique hands-on experience! Visit a local community where you'll learn the art of traditional bracelet-making directly from skilled local artisans.
