Additionally, you will enjoy a small demonstration of handmade textile art by talented local women.
We will continue our journey towards the famous circular terraces of Moray, where it is believed that the Incas experimented with different crops and agricultural techniques. We will then head to the Maras Salt Mines, which is made up of more than 3,000 pools where some of the world’s best salt is extracted to date. The Incas used this salt for consumption, and you can purchase this product to take home with you.

After lunch, we will continue to Ollantaytambo, the “last living Inca city.” We will visit its unique and extensive archaeological site, which houses water sources, high terraces, temples, and much more. The archaeological site is surrounded by imposing mountain peaks, colorful valleys, and the view of a distant glacier—further proof of the impressive skills the Incas had in their architecture.
