Certainly, the immersion in this research and product domestication center in Moray reveals a genuine ancestral laboratory that played a pivotal role in agronomic engineering during the zenith of the Inca civilization. On the other hand, the community of Maras harbors an invaluable mineral resource in the form of salt pans, whose exploitation dates back to primordial times, exerting a substantial impact on the prosperity and ecological sustainability of the region. Furthermore, the visit to the picturesque village of Maras is a living testament to cultural continuity from precolonial times to the colonial era, offering a captivating glimpse into the past and the legacy of the indigenous populations in the region.

Itinerary

Visit to Moray: Moray is a fascinating archaeological site consisting of circular terraces in the shape of an amphitheater built in a deep pit in the earth. It is believed that the Incas used them as an agricultural laboratory to experiment with different microclimates and crops. Visitors can walk through the terraces and marvel at the engineering and beauty of this place.

Visit to the Salt mine in Maras: The Salt mine of Maras is a system of salt ponds on terraces that have been used for centuries for salt production. It is a unique place where evaporation ponds create a mosaic of colors that are reflected in the sunlight. Here, visitors can learn about the ancient tradition of salt production and admire the landscape.

Return to Cusco: After concluding the comprehensive exploration of the tour, we will make our way back to Cusco. Our driver and guide will ensure that you are safely dropped off at your respective hotels or in their vicinity.

FAQ

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
