After breakfast, at your hotel, we´ll take you to visit Moray; an important Incan agricultural complex, experts consider to have served as an agricultural laboratory, where the Incas used to genetically manipulate agricultural products, from lower altitude areas, to acclimatize and adapt them, so that they might grow and reproduce at different altitudes. In addition to that, they also managed to diversify the types and varieties of products they grew there.
Then, we´ll go on with the visit of Maras´ Salt Mines; an impacting site, located in the Maras Gorge, where the famous Pink Maras Salt is being extracted, with millenary techniques, since Incan times, and is recognized for its medicinal properties, as well as for its healthy use in cooking recipes, due to its low sodium content.
Once the salt mines´ visit over, we´ll head to the village, to enjoy a delicious countryside lunch, and interact with the local population, without the presence of the thousands of tourists who normally visit other heavily frequented attractions. On our way, we´ll appreciate the magnificent hand-woven fabrics local women weave, as well as the peacefulness of that typical Andean village the main feature of which resides in the carved-stone main entrance doors to its numerous colonial houses.
