You will start your tour in the Chinchero town, one of the most important towns of the Inca Empire located on a terrace at about 3500 masl, where beautiful Andean landscapes surround the place, framed by the calm beauty of the Chicón and Verónica snow-capped mountains. Every Sunday, the town becomes a trade center for products from the neighboring communities. Then visit the archaeological sites in Maras and Moray. Maras presents a surreal view. It is an impressive complex for the exploitation of salt mines. Its big salt deposits were used to trade for other products with other regions of the Empire. Morays archaeological vestiges are composed of mysterious concentric circular terraces which, according to some scholars, would be an agricultural research center. The higher external terraces would be at a higher temperature than the inner ones and could simulate the conditions of various ecological strata of the empire. When the tour is over, you will return to Cusco.
