Next, we will head to the circular platforms of Maras Moray for a vibrant tour, passing through quaint villages and picturesque landscapes. Moray features a series of enormous, concentric terraces that overlap within a gigantic pit. These stunning terraces were used during Inca times as an agricultural laboratory, serving as a “Prototype of Greenhouse”.
Our final stop will be the salt mines, located northwest of Maras. These mines consist of approximately 2000 small wells, each averaging about 5 square meters, which have been in use since Inca and Colonial times and are still utilized by locals today.
After our visit, we will return to the city of Cusco.
