Half Day Salt Mines of Maras and Inca Terraces of Moray from Cusco

About this experience

We will begin our tour in Moray, where the view is impressive thanks to colossal concentric terraces simulating a large amphitheater. Its usefulness: recreate 20 different types of microclimates, measurement which ensured the agricultural production of the empire. Then we will make a brief visit to the town of Maras and then continue the famous and ancient salt mines of the colonial era. The contrast of its wells white with the green valley is impressive and not to be missed for a postcard spectacular of the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
