WHAT TO EXPECT
1.
Our first stop will be in the experimental agricultural center of Moray where we will observe the system of circular platforms that the Incas used to experience the adaptation of the plants to the different micro climates or ecological floors. Then, we will descend to the traditional town of Maras in whose streets we will observe the noble shields of its colonial past. Finally, we will go to Salineras to observe the hundreds of artisanal wells where the inhabitants of Maras, following ancestral crystallization techniques, still convert salt water into salt crystals.
2.
These are terraces or agricultural platforms built in depressions or gigantic natural holes. These terraces are concentrically superimposed, taking the form of a gigantic amphitheater. The main hole has a depth of 150 m and the average height of the platforms is 1.80 m.
According to historians, these constructions constituted an important agricultural laboratory of the Inca empire. Since its platforms are built with their respective irrigation channels and each of them constitutes a micro climate. What is striking is the large annual average temperature difference between the top and bottom of the depressions, a difference that reaches up to 15 ° C.
