Rute

  1. Have a morning pick-up from your hotel and continue on a 40 minutes ride enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Andes until arriving Moray, an admirable Inca experimental farm, where a natural depression has been transformed in enormous terraces superimposed in concentric forms with a shape of a great coliseum, achieving up to 150 meters in different height levels. The purpose of these depressions is still uncertain; altough is considered that perhaps Moray was an Inca agricultural experiment station. As with many other Inca sites, it also has a sophisticated irrigation system. Discover more about it during your visit.

  2. Next, explore the Maras Salt-mines, also called Salinas de Maras, which have been used since Inca times. People channel the salt water that bubbles to the surface from a spring called Qoripujio towards men-made wells. From the exposure to the sun, water evaporates and the salt remains on the surface to be transported later to the market to be sold. The view of this complex of nearly 3000 salt wells is spectacular.

  3. Local people happily demonstrate the ancient textile techniques to visitors, even allowing them to participate with them. After this visit, it’s time to take the transportation back to Cusco downtown.

About Cusco

Cusco, den gamle inkahovedstad højt oppe i Perus Andesbjerge, blander massive stenmure med koloniale kirker og er porten til Machu Picchu.

Plaza de Armas er byens hjerte, indrammet af katedralen og jesuitterkirken La Compañía. Inkamurværk er bevaret overalt i centrum, mest berømt ved Qorikancha, solens tempel, hvor spanierne byggede et kloster, og i stenen med tolv hjørner i gaden Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, håndværkernes kvarter, klatrer stejlt med værksteder og caféer.

Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
