The Maras Moray Tour from Cusco stands out as a mesmerizing journey that plunges visitors into the very heart of the Sacred Valley’s ancient wonders.
Maras is famed for its salt ponds, which have been harvested since pre-Incan times. These intricate terraced ponds, carved into the mountainside, present a dazzling patchwork of colors, from crystalline whites to rich browns, depending on the stage of evaporation. Today, as centuries ago, the naturally saline water is channeled into these ponds, gradually evaporating to yield precious salt.
A short distance away, Moray beckons with its mysterious concentric terraces. Unlike anything else in the region, these circular terraces descend deep into the earth, creating a series of microclimates. It is widely believed that the Incas used this ingenious design as an agricultural laboratory, testing and acclimatizing crops to different conditions.
