MARAS Y MORAY
Moray, at first glance, looks like a kind of amphitheater, made up of several circular platforms but in reality it is an agricultural experimentation center of the Inca period. Next to Moray we have the impressive saline exploitation complex. From Maras you can visit the salt mines by a bridle path where there are packets carrying the sacks of salt.
