Maras and Moray Tour is a half day tour from Cusco to the two iconic sites. Both Maras and Moray have been a great significance since the Incan civilization.
Maras is home to the salt terraces those are nestled on the slopes of a hill. These geometric shaped salt puddles produces a distinct type of salt that is rich in minerals and has a distinct taste.
Moray on the contrary is home to the circular shaped farming terrace that somewhat looks like Roman amphitheatre. This was more like an agricultural laboratory to Incas. The Incas tested the growth conditions of crops on each level of the terrace. From the top of the terrace to the bottom there is a difference of 15 degrees celsius.
