Overview

If you want to see unique places in the world and you have very little time for the trip, we recommend this Maras Moray Tour, an experience that connects you with beautiful nature, the setting of impressive archaeological sites and the visionary scientific and agricultural development of the Inca Empire.
Discover the spectacular Maras Salt Mines, some 3,000 pools dug into the Qaqa Wiñay mountain (3,380 masl / 11,080 ft) that, in addition to their beauty, allow you to see the process of extracting pink salt using the same technique used by the Incas. You can also visit the visionary and ingenious circular terraces of Moray, a marvel of science that was used, among other things, as an agricultural laboratory for the Incas.
