Just nearby the sacred valley we have those two fabulous sites to explore in the Andes, this tour takes a half day trip, just one hour away from Cusco we have this excellent alternative excursion
Moray, a complex of 4 concentric circular terraces located at a height of 3,500 meters. An Inca laboratory for the adaptation of plants and food to the high altitudes of the Andes. Each circular electrical terrace is of different sizes and built at different heights, therefore each one has different microclimates.
The salt mines, existed for thousands of years, comes from a single spring rich salt water that was used by several pre-Inca cultures for the preservation of the llama or deer meat, as well as they used it for the mummification of their authorities.
It is still a mystery how salt water ends up here in the Andes, far away from the Pacific Ocean. Currently, local communities are seen as they are extracting this rich and pure salt.
