Maras Plateau

Exploration Path

The trail begins at a farming community located amidst hills and goes down to the Inca remains of Moray, from where it continues to the colonial town of Maras. We see a piece of history in every corner. Afterwards, the trail descends to the bottom of the Sacred Valley and goes through the salt mines. The track crosses barley and potato fields and other crops.

This zone showcases the valley’s verticality – a pivotal component around which the Incas developed their particular cosmovision.
