Your journey begins in Chinchero, once a vital center in the Inca empire. Yet, it fell victim to the eradication of idolatry, which replaced indigenous deities with Catholic ones, transforming local religions. Next, explore Maras, a remarkable salt mining complex. These large salt deposits were often traded for goods from other regions of the empire. In contrast, Moray, an archaeological site offers an enigmatic layout of concentric circular terraces that some researchers believe was a site for agricultural experimentation. After some free time for lunch, you’ll visit Ollantaytambo, a classic representation of Inca urban planning. The site is often referred to as a fortress but was essentially a tambo, a resting and accommodation spot for travelers on long journeys. The grand finale sees you at Pisac’s citadel. Here, the local market teems with stalls where indigenous people exhibit and sell their handicrafts. At the end of the day, you’ll head back to your hotel.
