Itinerary and highlights

start point

MORAY.
• It is located 7 km. from Maras, two hours from the city of Cusco along the Chinchero route is one of the most spectacular visits where there are circular platforms of different sizes. They are terraces of agricultural experimentation and places of concentration of feminine energy, for which it is considered as a magnetic center of the Pachamama.

SALAS DE MARAS.
• Located northwest of the town of Maras Known by some as "salt mines" they are made up of about 3,000 small wells. Salt has been obtained since pre-Hispanic times through a system for drying the salty water in the sun that occurred from an underground stream. Once the water has evaporated, the salt is ready for sale.
