Itinerário

1. The Salineras de Maras is made up of more than 3 thousand natural salt wells near the town of Maras. Each of the wells has a dimension of 5 square meters. The 3,000 pools are fed by an underground hypersaline spring that originated 110 million years ago during the formation of the Andes Mountains. Currently, these natural salt pools attract hundreds of tourists. The view you get from this landscape is beautiful. The inhabitants of Maras sold this salt, just as the Incas did hundreds of years ago.

2. Moray is made up of 4 slightly elliptical galleries, which the inhabitants call "muyus". The largest gallery has a depth of 45 m and the average height of each platform is 1.80 m. For researchers, Moray's circular platforms functioned as an agricultural research center, where each level offered a different climate environment allowing different plants to be grown experimentally. The platforms were built on retaining walls filled with fertile land. He watered them through complex irrigation systems. At the bottom of the platforms, there is a system that stores the water coming from the rains. Following this practice, more than 250 plant species were cultivated.

About Cusco

Cusco, antiga capital inca nos Andes peruanos, combina imponentes muros de pedra e igrejas coloniais e é a porta de entrada para Machu Picchu.

A Plaza de Armas é o coração da cidade, enquadrada pela catedral e pela igreja jesuíta da Companhia. A cantaria inca sobrevive por todo o centro, mais famosa no Qorikancha, o templo do sol sobre o qual os espanhóis construíram um convento, e na pedra de doze ângulos da rua Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, o bairro dos artesãos, sobe a pique entre oficinas e cafés.
