The Maras Salt Mines is an impressive complex of salt ponds that was already used since the time of the Inca Empire for salt production and for commercial exchange between Andean communities.
From the town of Maras, it is possible to visit the famous salt mines via traditional trails. Today, the salt ponds are still worked by local families and produce the well-known salt of Maras, considered a true treasure of the region.
Moray
Near Maras lies the impressive archaeological complex of Moray. According to historians, this place functioned as a true agricultural laboratory for the Inca Empire.
The circular terraces were built with irrigation systems and create different microclimates. The temperature can vary up to 15°C (59°F) between the top and the bottom of the depressions, allowing the Incas to experiment with the cultivation and adaptation of various plants.
Moray is located approximately 50 km (31 miles) from the city of Cusco, on the route that leads to Machu Picchu.
