Tour Details

On this tour you’ll explore the archaeological site of Moray and the salt mines of Maras. Moray consists of a series of concentric agricultural terraces or “Andenes”. According to some historians, these structures were built by the Incas to grow crops from warm climates. On the other hand, the salt mines of Maras comprises numerous water wells, which produce pink salt after being exposed to the sunlight. Moray and Maras are located near each other, so you’ll explore these amazing places in just one day.

I recently went on the Maras & Moray Tour and it was absolutely fantastic! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about the places we visited. He was able to provide a great insight into the local culture and history. Our stops at the Salt Mines of Maras and the Incan ruins of Moray were breathtaking. We were able to take some amazing photographs and learn a lot about the history of the area. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a unique and educational experience in Peru.
