Today, tour of the Sacred Valley: Maras Salt Pans, Moray Archaeological Site, and Ollantaytambo Fortress.

Our journey begins with a visit to the Salt Pans of Maras. The sight of these still-active salt mines, which have been in use since Incan times, is truly striking, with the stark white of the salt pans contrasting sharply against the lush green mountain slopes. We will then proceed to the Moray Archaeological Site, renowned for its circular terraces that descend 490 feet (150 metres). These terraces served as an agricultural testing ground and are a testament to the advanced engineering skills of the Incas, who built in harmony with nature.

Finally, we’ll explore Ollantaytambo, one of the last remaining Incan towns, known for its formidable fortress. Here, we’ll uncover the extensive archaeological complex that once functioned as a rest stop for royal delegations. The surviving walls and towers of the fortress reveal the impressive defensive structures used to protect the citadel from potential invasions.
