Itinerary and highlights
The Moray Archaeological Site, located in the Sacred Valley of Peru, is a fascinating destination for those interested in ancient Inca civilization and agricultural techniques. It features remarkable terraced circular depressions believed to be used for agricultural experimentation, specifically for studying microclimates and developing different crops suited to various altitudes.
The Salt Mines of Maras in Peru are another fascinating historical site located in the Sacred Valley. These ancient salt pans have been in use for centuries and are still operational today, offering a unique cultural and agricultural experience.
The site of Chinchero in Peru is a significant Inca archaeological location known for its stunning Inca construction and rich cultural heritage. Located in the Sacred Valley, Chinchero was a vital agricultural and administrative center during the Inca Empire and is also famous for its colonial-era church built on Inca foundations.
The Sacred Lands of the Incas refer to a network of sacred sites and landscapes across the Andean region, primarily in Peru, that were of profound religious, cultural, and agricultural significance to the Inca civilization. These lands, including both natural and man-made sites, are deeply embedded in the spiritual and social fabric of the Inca Empire. Many of these sites still hold sacred meaning for indigenous Andean communities today.
