The ancient town of Chinchero is one of the most beautiful in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. A wonderful place where you can still feel and see the Inca culture as it was in times past. It has an incomparable square built on what was once an Inca palace, with a typical Sunday fair where ancient marketing practices are still carried out and where you can see people in the typical clothing of their ancestors.

It is an impressive salt mining complex, which was already exploited since the Inca Empire as a means of economic exchange and value. From Maras you can visit the salt mines along a horseshoe path, where it is common to find pack animals carrying sacks of salt extracted from the natural salt mines.

The site is made up of agricultural terraces or platforms built in gigantic natural depressions or holes. These terraces are superimposed concentrically, taking the form of a gigantic amphitheater.
