Start your journey in Maras, a picturesque town above the Urubamba River, known for its vibrant market filled with artisanal textiles and ceramics. This town is the entry point to the vast Maras Salt Mines. This ancient system, stretching over 13 square kilometers, contains more than 3,000 terraced salt pools dating back to pre-Inca times.
Your adventure continues to Moray's archaeological site, showcasing the Inca's innovative agricultural techniques. Witness the impressive circular terraces resembling a massive amphitheater. These terraces, which can have temperature variations up to 15°C, were used by the Incas to test different crops in various microclimates.
The tour offers a spectacular view of the Urubamba River and the fertile lands once masterfully cultivated by the Incas.
