Overview of your Cusco tour

Maras - Moray, It is an essential trip through the sacred Valley and transformative experience into the past and present of the land scape of the incas. It is a unique experience to visit the salt mines or salt works of Maras and the farming terraces of Moray. It is believed that in Moray the Incas created their own micro-climate to adapt the plants to that altitude. Afterwards we will continue the visit to the salt mines located near the town of Maras. These mines continue being labouring by the local community until nowadays Currently people can harvest te salt and send it to process in the refinery store. The landscape is really remarkable we can appreciate the view of mountain range of the Urubamba.
