Itinerary
1
Salinas de Maras
There are thousands of ponds in total, and they are all still in use today by different members of the local community. They own them and farm them and sell the salt in the city. It appears that the continuation of the traditional methods is the modern population respecting their ancestors.
You will explore this majestic place with an incredible view from the viewpoint provided by the locals where you can take the best pictures of the place, our guided tour is about 1 hour.
Duration: 2 hours
2
Moray
Next on our itinerary is a visit to Moray (3,500m/11,500ft). This is an unusual and spectacular set of ruins; concentric circles that are thought to have made up an Inca agricultural laboratory. Some of the terraced circular depressions are 30m/98ft deep, creating a wide variety of temperatures within them.
We walk further down into this archaeological site to see some ruins that may have served as one of the main amphitheaters for the Incas. Rituals and ceremonies may have been performed here.
