that controlled a route which connected the Inca Empire with Paucartambo, on
the border of the eastern jungles as well its market has plenty of small
handicraft shops and is worth a visit on any day of the week as is a good

visiting: The fortress of Ollantaytambo, an architectural group that in the
days of the Tahuantinsuyo empire was a gigantic agricultural,
administrative, social, religious and military complex that is considered
the best surviving example of Inca town planning. Then we will continue to
Maras where we can see the snowy mountain of the Incas Sacred Valley and the
Vilcabamba. At present this district keeps attractive pre-Hispanic, colonial
and republican, highlighting people in the colonial doorways with coats of
the nobles and chieftains from the sixteenth and twentieth century’s. Maras
town splits on two routes, one to the archaeological complex of Moray and
the other to the salt mines of Maras, each with an approximate distance of 4
km.
Salineras: or "salt mines"consist of about 2000 small wells, which were
already exploited since Inca times as a means of economic exchange and is
still being exploited by the locals. The water, which is exposed to the sun,
leaves salt on the bed. Viewed from the peak, the myriad of rectangles look
Like an enormous painting designed by nature. Inland, not far from Maras, we
can find the Moray ruins, it is famous for its sunken amphitheater, formed
by four circular terraces which seem to disappear within the highlands, by
way of an artificial crater are reminiscent of a Greek theatre. Apparently,
the place was an Inca agricultural research center dedicated to the
experimentation of cultures around the different altitudinal levels of the
plots (some more than 100 m deep) besides being considered for Incas as a
place of concentration of female energy, which is considered as a magnetic
center of the Pachamama. Lunch provided and then return to your lodging and
