PROGRAM DETAILS
- Depart to Moray, located at 35 kilometers of Cusco; the three concentric circular terraces lead us to believe that this one of the most important centers for agricultural research. Diverse soil, water supply, weather, humidity and winds make this spot very special for experimentation. Because Peru is known for its floral and faunal diversity, the adaptation of foods at various levels was a permanent challenge.
- Then, we continue to the Salt Flats of Maras, this place is located in the middle of a dry hillside.
- A spring of salty water runs down the Valley, this water flow is divided into shallow reservoirs and left to dry, locals will then harvest the salt.
- After that we will come back to Cusco and the tour finishes at about 2.00pm for lunch (not included)
