Maras Moray Tours
Many archaeologists and anthropologists believe that the ruins of Moray were once used to conduct agricultural experiments. Part of the evidence supporting this theory is the intricate irrigation system built on the terraces, which was supplied with water from a reservoir located high in the mountains.
Moray’s microclimate probably allowed the Incas to conduct agricultural research and identify the optimal conditions for diverse crops to thrive. This suggests that the Incas used their knowledge of the environment to harness natural resources.

Salt Maras Peru
The Salineras de Maras are composed of more than 3,000 natural salt wells located near the town of Maras. Each well has a dimension of 5 square meters.
These 3,000 wells are fed by an underground hypersaline spring that originated 110 million years ago during the formation of the Andes Mountains.
Currently, these natural salt pools attract hundreds of tourists, offering a breathtaking view of the landscape.
The people of Maras market and sell this salt, continuing the tradition established by the Incas centuries ago.

Archaeological Park Ollantaytambo
Ollantaytambo (Quechua: Ullantaytampu, meaning “warehouse or inn of Ollanta”) is a Peruvian village and an Inca archaeological site. It serves as the capital of the eponymous district, located in the province of Urubamba, in the department of Cusco. Ollantaytambo is located approximately 90 km northwest of the city of Cusco.
During the Inca period, Pachacutec conquered the region, establishing the village and a ceremonial center. It served as a fortress for Manco Inca Yupanqui, leader of the Inca resistance during the Spanish conquest. In Ollantaytambo, you will find defensive platforms (used to prevent landslides) instead of agricultural terraces, which are more common in other archaeological sites of Cusco.
