Day 1: Maras-Moray Half Day
Maras
The salt mines of Maras are a true hidden beauty of the Sacred Valley, passing green through mountains of rugged Andean terrain. Lying in the middle of inconspicuous mountains, with Sun reflecting on it as though they were snow, the salt flats will stun you with their beauty, shining out like white gold. Depending on what season you travel, you can see pools of water in each section of the salt fields. The salt comes from an underground flow of brine water (mixture of salt and water) that bubbles up from the Qoripujio spring near in an upper section of the valley. An intricate network of narrow channels was built to direct the flow of this salty water into each pond.Moray

Experts today consider these grassy amphitheaters served as a farming laboratory. Natural gigantic holes, that were used to build terraces around them with their own irrigation aqueducts.
