    Moray

    The Inka site of Moray is the first place we visit in this exclusive tour. According to researchers, the circular terraces in Moray served as a center for agricultural experimentation, as each level offered different climactic conditions and allowed for different plants to be cultivated experimentally.

    The stunning landscape of Salineras de Maras features salt pans that are still used exactly as they were at the time of the Incas. As you make your way through the region, you’ll see people doing the backbreaking work of harvesting salt on small family plots. The reward? The salt gathered here is some of the best in the world.
