Itinerario

1. We will be leaving from our office to Maras. Maras are home to over 3600 Salt Wells. Strategically dug into the mountainside, thousands of shallow pools filled with saltwater eventually evaporate and leave behind the crystallized salt, a process that has been practiced for more than 500 years. It’s believed that the salt pans were originally constructed by the Wari civilization, which predates the Inca. However, the Inca saw the economic opportunity in harvesting the salt of Maras and expanded the salt pans further up the mountainside. We will then be visiting the iconic, Moray agricultural terraces. Moray is 4.5 miles from the town of Maras and 39 miles from Cusco. The main feature that impresses travelers is its system of circular agricultural terraces, which are up to 330 feet deep. They are build using retaining walls connected by an irrigation system. Moray can be considered a crop lab– they used the terraces to create micro-climates and grow various products.

About Cusco

Cusco, antigua capital inca en los Andes peruanos, combina imponentes muros de piedra e iglesias coloniales y es la puerta de Machu Picchu.

La Plaza de Armas es el corazón de la ciudad, enmarcada por la catedral y la iglesia jesuita de La Compañía. La cantería inca sobrevive por todo el centro, sobre todo en el Qorikancha, el templo del sol sobre el que los españoles construyeron un convento, y en la piedra de los doce ángulos de la calle Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, el barrio de los artesanos, sube con fuerte pendiente entre talleres y cafés.
