Itinerary
You will get to know the tradition and culture in a very adventurous way. We will pick you up from your hotel to drive to Cruzpata, from where we will continue by quad bike to the first stop in Moray, an archaeological site where the Incas use it to acclimatize the seeds. The gigantic circular depressions in the ground surface, with their respective irrigation canals were believed to be an agriculture investigation centre of the Inca’s. The average temperature difference between the top and bottom of the depressions reaches up to 15°C in the principal depression of approximately 30 meters deep. Then we drive to the salt mines located 7 km from Moray, pass through a typical Spanish village called Maras.
Afterwards we will go back to Cruzpata to return the quad bikes and where our transport to Cusco awaits us.
