Ancient Inca Marvels: Sightseeing Tour to Maras and Moray |
|
|
Advanced Inca water systems and ancient agricultural terraces will awaken your sense of history
| Overview | |
|
Incan masonry and intricate irrigation channels will hold you riveted as you explore Moray and Maras, about an hour’s drive from Cusco. Moray looks like a sunken amphitheatre, and is a series of circular terraces worked into the ground. While locals refer to it as the greenhouse of the Incas, historians think it was used as an agricultural research centre. The Incas experimented with different plants at varying temperatures. As one descends each layer, so does the temperature! The ancient salt pans of Maras are just 4 kilometres away and are an astounding sight. Nestled amongst the green fields of the Sacred Valley, this is a huge white area of mismatched squares where salt has been collected for centuries. One can wander in between the salt-pans and watch the locals at work. Against the backdrop of the snow-capped Weqey Willka, savour the traditions of this historic land as you surrender to the rugged beauty of Peru.
