    1. Full day ONE DAY BIKING MORAY AND MARAS

      We will leave Cusco at 7 am picking you up at your hotels and head towards Cruzpata (approx. 45 min). From Cruzpata we will go by bike and this adventure will take around 4 hours and we will cover approx. 35km visiting Moray and Maras. Moray is a very unique archaeological site in the region. Those are enormous natural depressions or hollows in the ground surface that Inkas used for constructing irrigated farming terraces around them. What is surprising is that the difference of average annual temperature between the top and the bottom reaches even about 15°C (59°F) in the main depression that is about 30 m (100 feet). Then we will visit the salt mines of Maras, where we will see the process of salt recollection, precious mineral during the Inca time and then in the colonial time as well. The “salt mines” are constituted by around 3000 small pools with an average area of 5 m² (53.8 ft²), constructed in a slope of the “Qaqawiñay” mountain. People fill up or “irrigate” the pools during the dry season every 3 days, with salty water emanating from a natural spring located on the top of the complex, so that when water evaporates the salt contained in it will slowly solidify.

      Biking distance: 35 km/21,875 miles
