The Maras salt mines are located 3,000 meters above sea level, an hour and a half from the city of Cusco. These salt mines and their exploitation are as old as the Tahuantinsuyo. Located on the slopes of Cerro Pichingoto are more than 3,000 pools filled with groundwater that flows through the ravine and is then crystallized by the intense heat of the sun. The origin of its source remains a mystery.

5Ollantaytambo
The archaeological complex of Ollantaytambo was a military, religious and agricultural center. This fabulous architectural setting is interesting for the size, originality and detail of its structures. It is a typical example of the extraordinary urban planning of the Incas; its narrow, cobbled, winding streets, the ruins scattered throughout, and its agricultural terraces are attractions that stand out in their own right and can be appreciated by visitors in all their splendor. Ollantaytambo is also considered the last surviving Inca city due to the Inca streets and the clothing of its inhabitants that remain.
