Itinerary

Then we go to the archaeological zone of Moray. These are gigantic natural depressions of circular shape that were used to build agricultural terraces with their respective irrigation channels.
What attracts attention is the temperature difference in each terrace level that generates microclimates that can differentiate up to 20 different climates, in them the Incas could domesticate wild plants and cultivate species that do not naturally grow in Cusco.
Then we will go to the Salineras located 7 km from Moray, we will pass through the typical town called Maras where the famous salt mines known by some as “salt mines” are found during the dry season they fill or “water” every 3 days with salt water emanating from a natural spring located at the top of the wells so that when the salt evaporates, it gradually solidifies. This process will continue for approximately one month until a considerable volume of solid salt is obtained.
Then we will continue the trip to Urubamba where we will enjoy a delicious buffet lunch.
Then we will go to the famous Living Inca Village of Ollantaytambo where we will visit the beautiful fortress that bears the same name. Here we go through the most important sectors and our guide will give us an explanation about this place.
