Overview
Full description
Depart after breakfast from the hotel, heading along the Sacred Valley towards the archaeological site of Moray, approximately an hour and a half away.
As with many Inca ruins, its exact function remains a mystery though the design of ever-wider concentric circular terraces meant each level had a different microclimate.
Continue to Maras, where the salt ponds create a dazzling scene. The thousands of small ponds give work to and help feed many local families. During Inca times, the salt deposits were an important economic centre and of great value to the imperial economy. After the tour, transfer back to your hotel.
Tour Highlights:
* Explore Maras, a salt extraction center that has been operating since the time of the Incas.
* Discover the large deposits of salt used for exchange with other products between the regions of the empire.
