We will pick you up around 8:30 a.m., and then travel towards Chinchero and Cruzpata were we will star our tour descending to Moray, one of the most important surrounding Inca Sites. Your tour guide will explain more about the history of this archaeological site of Moray, as you pass through stunning scenery surrounded by steep mountains and farmland with growing crops. Arriving in Moray our guide will explain the importance of this archaeological site where the Inkas worked with plants and foods to adapt the plants to different altitude levels. According to scientific research it is known up to 15 degrees difference in temperature can exist along the terraces from the bottom to the top. After visiting the archaeological site of Moray, we will pass by the Maras village where we will see a church that is over 400 years old. In Maras we will take a small break and then head on to the famous salt mines. This place has been exploited by the locals even from pre-Inca times, which involves making small wells to hold water with salt particles that settle to the base where they can then be extracted.
