Maras Moray:
Found roughly 7 kilometers to the southwest of Maras, they are immense depressions in the earth’s surface that were utilized to construct stepped agricultural platforms complete with their irrigation channels. This site is recognized as a technologically sophisticated agricultural laboratory for its era, which benefited the inhabitants of those times.
Salineras: “Salt Mines”.
This area is composed of nearly 3000 compact basins, each with an average size of 5 square meters. During dry seasons, these basins are replenished or ‘irrigated’ every three days with saline water that springs from the ground at the basin’s upper edges. As the water evaporates, the dissolved salt crystallizes. Subsequently, the crystallized salt is struck and thus turned into granules.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
