2. After pickup at 8:00 am, we travel for approximately one hour to the town of Maras and onward to the Maras Salt Mines. Dating back to colonial times, Maras was an important center of salt production. Carved into the mountainside, more than 3,000 salt pools are continuously fed by a natural natural spring. As the water slowly evaporates, it leaves behind a stunning, glistening patchwork of white salt. This remarkable site offers excellent photo opportunities, showcasing the unique beauty of the Salineras against the dramatic Andean landscape.

3. We continue to Moray, a fascinating archaeological site consisting of three impressive amphitheater-like terraces built by the Incas. Carved deep into the earth in a circular, bowl-shaped design, these terraces are believed to have served as an agricultural laboratory, where the Incas experimented with different microclimates to identify the optimal conditions for growing crops. After this, we begin our return to Cusco

About Cusco

Cusco, de oude Inca-hoofdstad hoog in de Peruaanse Andes, combineert enorme stenen muren met koloniale kerken en is de poort naar Machu Picchu.

De Plaza de Armas is het hart van de stad, omlijst door de kathedraal en de jezuïetenkerk La Compañía. Inca-metselwerk is overal in het centrum bewaard gebleven, het bekendst bij de Qorikancha, de zonnetempel waarop de Spanjaarden een klooster bouwden, en in de steen met twaalf hoeken in de straat Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, de wijk van de ambachtslieden, klimt steil omhoog met werkplaatsen en cafés.
