Explore Maras and Moray: A Trip to the Salt Mines of Cusco:

Maras and Moray are two must-see destinations near Cusco that offer a fascinating insight into Incan culture and traditional agriculture.

Maras is known for its impressive salt mines, a collection of over 3,000 salt pools that have been used since pre-Columbian times. Here, visitors can observe the salt extraction process, which is still carried out by hand. The panoramic views of the salt mines, surrounded by mountains, are simply spectacular.

Moray, on the other hand, is famous for its unusual amphitheater-shaped agricultural terraces. These circular platforms, found on different levels, were used to study the cultivation of various plant species. The varied climate at each level allowed the Incas to experiment with different crops and improve the region’s agriculture.

Visiting Maras and Moray gives you a unique opportunity to learn about the agricultural heritage of the Incas and enjoy stunning landscapes. These destinations are ideal for a half-day or full-day excursion from Cusco.

Plan your visit today and discover the beauty and history of Maras and Moray.
