Moray Maras Salt Mines Tours


Full day

After the breakfast we leave to the village of Moray visiting this Andean region to see as agriculture developed in the time of the Incas, the first stop is Moray



Our next stop is the town of Maras and its salt mines, which are located in a narrow canyon next to the cereal plains surrounding the town of the same name. In the village, the houses preserved stone lintels XVI century decorated with religious inscriptions, coats of arms and Andean symbols. For the same canyon, Urubamba is reached by bicycle, on horseback or on foot, on a road surrounded by vegetation that crosses the river.

Then we visit the salt mines, where locals produce salt for use and sale, so you can see the wells where the salt is formed in a special process. Are constituted by about 3000 small wells with an average area of 5 m2, during the dry season are filled or "water" every 3 days with salt water that comes from a natural spring located at the top of the wells so that when evaporating water, salt contained therein solidifies gradually, later the salt is struck and thus granulated; salt is then bagged in plastic sacks and sent to markets in the region; today that salt is being iodized reason why its consumption is not harmful. Return to Cusco (Plaza Regocijo).
