We will pick you up from your hotel at 8:00 am. Then, we will drive through the Sacred Valley of the Incas to Maras town. Maras is a picturesque place surrounded by beautiful landscapes. We will go to a nearby lookout to appreciate the Maras Salt Mines. 

An additional entrance ticket is necessary to enter the Maras Salt Mines. Maras is not a salt flat. It is a group of thousands of salt ponds. Once the pond is exposed to the sunlight, the water evaporates, leaving behind the precious pink salt of Maras (“Sal Rosada de Maras”). This mineral is highly appreciated for its unique color and flavor.

After exploring Maras, we will go to the archaeological center of Moray. Moray resembles an amphitheater due to its concentric terraces. However, this place was used as a sort of ancient agricultural laboratory by the Inca civilization. 

According to some studies, the Incas used Moray to grow crops from warm climates. These crops included coca leaves, which are considered sacred in the Andean world. The terraces of Moray are located at different levels. Thus, each level creates a different microclimate.

After exploring Maras and Moray,  we will drive back to Cusco city.
