Circular terraces and ancient salt mines
Visit the circular terraces of Moray and the ancient Maras Salt Mines in the Sacred Valley.
Moray is a striking set of circular terraces that the Incas used as an agricultural research center. Nearby, the Maras Salt Mines form a mosaic of more than 3,000 salt pools that have been worked since pre-Inca times.
