maras - moray information

It has salt mines, which were already exploited since the incanato (time of the Incas) as a means of economic and value exchange. From Maras you can get to visit the salt mines by a horseshoe path; through the place it is very usual to find acémilas that load the sacks of salt extracted from natural salinas.
How to get to Maras?

Location of the Moray archaeological group
Moray is located 53 km from Cusco, has an altitude of 3,385 meters above sea level.


At approximately 7 km. to the southwest of Maras is Moray which is a unique archaeological group of its kind within the region. Moray is a center of depressions or gigantic natural holes which were used to build (in its contours) terraces or agricultural platforms with their respective irrigation channels. What is important in the place and therefore attracts a lot of attention is the average annual temperature difference between the top and the bottom of the depressions, that difference reaches up to 15 ° C.
The main hole has a depth of 150 m. and the average height of the platforms is 1.80 m. among them.
The structures found in Moray are typically Incas, however, some suggest that these are earlier structures; This can be noticed mainly in the lower terraces. It is also estimated that the bottom of Moray is on a very porous natural rock formation that facilitates the filtration of water into the earth since at the bottom of the depressions floods do not occur in the rainy seasons.
