Description

Immerse yourself in the heart of the Sacred Valley and discover two fascinating treasures of the Inca legacy: the archaeological site of Moray and the charming village of Maras, with its famous ancestral salt pans. In Moray, marvel at an ancient agricultural laboratory where the Incas developed innovative experiments to adapt crops to different microclimates and altitudes, using unique circular terraces that resemble a natural amphitheater. This site reveals the agricultural and scientific genius of an advanced civilization that shaped the land to feed its people. Then, venture into Maras, a picturesque village that preserves vestiges of its colonial history and living traditions. Here, visit the impressive salt pans, a spectacular mosaic of more than 3,000 evaporation pools built centuries ago. Observe how the locals keep alive the ancient technique of transforming salt water from a natural spring into fine salt crystals, a traditional process that has endured for generations. This tour connects you with the essence of the Sacred Valley, where history, culture, and nature intertwine to offer you an unforgettable experience.
