   Moray is one of Cusco’s most unique archaeological sites. Its distinctive circular terraces descend into the earth like an amphitheater, creating microclimates that the Incas are believed to have used for agricultural experimentation. This remarkable site reflects the depth of Inca knowledge and their ability to adapt farming to the challenges of the Andean landscape.

   The Maras Salt Mines are a striking sight, with hundreds of salt terraces cascading down a mountainside. Used since Inca times, these pools are part of a traditional and sustainable way of harvesting salt from the natural springs that flow through the area. The contrast between the bright white pools and the surrounding landscape creates an unforgettable view and a living connection to the ancestral practices of the Andes.
