Itinerary and highlights
The Inka site of Moray is the first place we visit in this exclusive tour. According to researchers, the circular terraces in Moray served as a center for agricultural research, as each level offered different climactic conditions and allowed for different plants to be cultivated experimentally.
The stunning landscape of Salineras de Maras features salt pans that are still used exactly as they were at the time of the Incas. As you make your way through the region, you’ll see people doing the backbreaking work of harvesting salt on small family plots. The reward? The salt gathered here is some of the best in the world.
This Andean textile Livng Museum is an entertaining and culturally-rich stop. This popular artisan outpost is a great place to experience alpacas and Andean culture. There, visitors can marvel with the colorful textiles they spin using alpacas fiber and natural dies
