Half-day guided tour of Moray circular terraces and Maras salt ponds
Overview
After breakfast, you'll travel along the Sacred Valley to the archaeological site of Moray, about an hour and a half away. This ancient Inca site features concentric circular terraces, each level creating a different microclimate. The exact purpose of this unusual design remains unknown, making it an interesting point of discussion during your visit.
Your next destination is Maras, where you'll see a landscape of salt ponds. These small, terraced pools are not only visually distinctive but also vital to the local economy. Many families in the area depend on these salt deposits for their livelihood, continuing a tradition that dates back to Inca times when the site was an important economic centre.
During your visit to these locations, you'll gain insight into ancient Inca engineering and the ongoing significance of traditional industries in the region.
