Explore the Inca Circles of Moray and the Salt Flats of Maras

Looking to explore the rich history and stunning landscapes of Peru? Join us on a trip to the agricultural terraces of Moray and the salt mines of Maras.

In Moray, you'll have the opportunity to observe the giant holes and terraces with irrigation canals that were built by the Incas as a testing ground for their agriculture. These incredible structures are a testament to the ingenuity and engineering skills of the Incas.

You'll have the chance to see the famous "natural pink salt" of Maras, which is known for its beautiful color.
