Complejo Arqueologico Chinchero

Moray
Then, we will head to Moray, which was possibly an Inca agricultural research center where crop experiments were carried out at different heights, the layout of its platforms produces a gradient of microclimates, the center of the concentric circular platforms having a higher temperature and gradually reducing outwards at lower temperatures.
Salinas de Maras
Continuing the tour, we will head to Maras salt mines. They are formed by about 3000 small wells with an approximate area of about 5 m². In times of drought these are filled with salt water that comes from a natural spring that is located above the wells, when the water evaporates the salt crystallizes. When the salt reaches about 10 cm high from the floor it will be removed and then packed in cloth sacks and sent to the markets of the region. Nowadays, that salt is being iodized by state standards. From there we head to Urubamba to have lunch on your own.
