Cusco Mines Salt Maras + Moray Half Day

We will pick you up from your hotel in the morning for the drive from Cusco to the high plains of Chinchero. Great snow-capped peaks dominate the horizon, and every square meter of the high plain is used by local farming communities to grow a variety of Andean crops. At the Inca agricultural terraces of Moray, our guide will explain how the Incas developed complex farming techniques in order to increase their crop yields. After visiting Moray we will continue to Maras. Our guide will explain how these salt pans have been exploited since pre-Inca times, and how they remain important to the local economy. After the tour we will have lunch at a local restaurant, before returning to Cusco in our private vehicle in the late afternoon.
