- Our first stop will be Chinchero, an ancient Inca center that preserves a beautiful main square and a colonial church built upon Inca foundations. Here, we will also visit a traditional textile center, where the skilled local weavers will teach us the ancestral art of Andean weaving and the use of natural dyes.
- We will then continue to Moray, a unique archaeological complex known for its circular terraces in the shape of an amphitheater. It is believed that the Incas used this site as an agricultural laboratory, experimenting with microclimates and sacred crops.
- Next, we will visit the impressive Maras Salt Mines, a complex of more than 3,000 salt pools that have been active since pre-Inca times. The view is simply breathtaking, and you will have the chance to learn about the traditional salt harvesting process and purchase unique local products.
