OVERVIEW

Are you ready to explore the Sacred Valley of the Incas? Discover the fascinating Inca stone constructions of Moray and the Salt Mines of Maras, two of the most remarkable highlights of the Sacred Valley!

Moray was an ancient agricultural testing center for the Incas. This archaeological complex features a series of circular terraces designed to simulate various altitudes and climate zones, allowing the Incas to experiment with different crops.

The Maras Salt Mines consist of approximately 4,200 pools. Each pool, a few square meters in size, collects saltwater from a stream that flows from the heart of the mountain. Through the sun’s evaporation, the water crystallizes, creating the natural marvel known as Maras Pink Salt.

How can I prepare for the hike and prevent altitude sickness?

The best way to prepare yourself for this trekking experiencee is easy: spend at least 2 to 3 days at a high-altitude place like Cusco, so your body gets used to the high altitude. If you have already been to a high altitude destination before arriving to Cusco, we still recommend you spend at least one full day in Cusco to rest, recuperate from your trip, and enjoy the beautiful views of the city before your trek.

Additionally, taking good care of your body helps deal with the extra pressures that altitude creates. We recommend you to eat healthy food, drink lots of water and stay away from alcohol. Chewing coca leaves, drinking coca tea helps to alleviate any discomfort associated with the altitude.
