The Sacred Valley of Peru is filled with wonders, but few experiences combine history, culture, and scenery like the Maras Moray Tour. This journey takes you through traditional weaving in Chinchero, the dazzling salt pools of Maras, and the circular terraces of Moray – one of the most fascinating Inca sites.
The Mystery of Moray
Moray stands out in the Sacred Valley. The site features a series of circular terraces that descend like an amphitheater. In fact, each level has its own microclimate, which the Inca may have used to test crops. As a result, many believe Moray was an agricultural laboratory, helping the empire adapt plants to different environments. Walking the terraces, you feel the precision and vision of the Inca civilization.
Exploring Chinchero and Salineras de Maras
The Maras Moray Tour doesn’t stop at Moray. Before reaching the ruins, you’ll explore Chinchero, a charming Andean town. Here, you’ll visit the local ruins, stroll through the colorful market, and witness a traditional textile demonstration. Local families proudly share ancient weaving techniques that have been passed down for generations.
From there, the adventure continues to the Salineras de Maras. Thousands of salt pools cascade down the mountainside, glowing white against the red earth. The view is unforgettable, and it connects you directly to the region’s living traditions.
