Next stop, the Archeological site of Moray (a.k.a.) “The Greenhouse of the Incas”. You’ll be fascinated by this gigantic carved bowl. This evolutionary terrace allowed the Incas to optimize crop yield by comprehending the micro-climates (makes you wonder how much further in crop science they would have advanced if not interrupted by the Spaniard colonists).

After our visit to Moray, we move forward to the colonial town of Maras, ascending downhill to the pre-Inca salt mine. A hot spring at the top of the valley discharges a small stream of heavily salt-laden water, which is diverted into salt pools and evaporated to produce natural salt that is used for human and animal consumption.
