THE CIRCULAR TERRACES OF MORAY
THE SALINERAS DE MARAS:
Located 60 kilometers (37 miles) and 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) from Moray. In addition to the colonial town of Maras, the Salinas de Maras stands at a distance of 10 km from the town of Maras (30 minutes by car or 2 hours by foot). Also called Salinas de Maras. They are salt mines whose exploitation is as old as the Tahuantinsuyo. The settlers channel saline water emanating from the soil - from a water eye called "Qoripujio" - to pools where, due to the effects of the sun, it evaporates leaving on the surface the salt that is then treated to be sold in the local market . The view of the whole of about three thousand pools is spectacular. The villagers show visitors their ancestral techniques and allow them to intervene in the collection.
MORAY
Archaeological zone located 53 km to the northwest of Cuzco, in which there is an admirable Inca andenergy system, made up of enormous terraces superposed in concentric form as a great coliseum, achieving up to 150 meters in difference of height levels. This technology allowed the old Inca farmers to create diverse microclimates, to experiment and obtain varieties of plants, that improved their crops. Each terrace has retaining walls and is connected by a complex system of artificial irrigation canals, which is a sample of the high hydraulic technology that also reached the Incas. Considered as one of the first genetic laboratories of mankind.
