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, den gamla inkahuvudstaden högt uppe i Perus Anderna, blandar massiva stenmurar med koloniala kyrkor och är porten till Machu Picchu.

Plaza de Armas är stadens hjärta, ramad av katedralen och jesuitkyrkan La Compañía. Inkamurverk finns kvar i hela centrum, mest berömt vid Qorikancha, soltemplet där spanjorerna byggde ett kloster, och i stenen med tolv hörn på gatan Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, hantverkarnas kvarter, klättrar brant med verkstäder och caféer.
