MARAS - MORAY
WITH MACHU PICHU 2 DAYS /
1N NIGHT
1st Day : Maras - Moray - Aguas
Calientes :
You start walking in the little town of Maras, which has
nice colonial doors in its main street. In nearby Moray you find ¨the inca
laboratory¨. The circles were used for the development of different strains of
crops. Between the highest and lowest terraces there is a difference of up to 15
degrees. Although the difference between neighboring terraces is very small, it
is great enough to create distinct microclimates that change growing conditions
and allow the propagation of a huge variety of plants each with slightly
different growth requirements.
After this very atmospheric place you walk down to the
salt pans of Salineras. Here more than 5000 terraces are still in production and
many families of Maras bring their salt to the market of Urubamba on mules.
A short but rather steep walk brings you to Tarabamba in
the Sacred Valley where you take a car to Ollantaytambo.
In Ollantaytambo you take the afternoon train to Aguas
Calientes.
2nd Day Machupicchu - Cusco :
