Maras Moray & Salineras Maras Moray: Archaeological & Ecological Tours This tour lasts for half a day and shows the ability of the Inca in the field of agriculture since Moray seems to have been built in order study to growth of plants at different altitudes and temperatures as well as receiving the necessary amount of sunlight. The site holds 4 profound excavations where investigations are still on their way. In order to reach it, we pass by the town of Maras which contains large house built 3 centuries ago and the reason that made it into an affluent society is the fact that it was the center of a salt mine that is the next site that we visit and see that this mine is exploited until our age because salty water pours out of the mountain and it is channeled to pools where it is drayed out on sunny days. The view of the pools is stunning but we shall take you down to the mountain and even taste the water so that we can watch the peasant harvest their own salt. The return trip might include time for a visit to the ancient Inca town of Chinchero.
