Maras Moray Tour and Salt Mines Itinerary

This tour begins in the morning at your hotel where we board a bus heading north of Cusco, to the traditional Andean village of Maras.

Here we will find the sculpted landscapes, forming circular terraces and platforms, built by the Inca, possibly for the purpose of adapting and improving seeds to the high altitude.

Finally we head for the salt mines of Maras, very different in appearance to the usual Andean landscapes, and from their back to Cusco, where we will conclude this beautiful tour.
