Experience with Peru Grand Travel, we went to visit the salt mines, an ancient place where our ancestors already used this technique and to this day we use it in the production of salts.

Places to be enchanted and learn a lot from those people with unique intelligence. Open-air agricultural laboratories, incredible salt mines that are still operated by the population today. I have no words to describe this emotion. We were very well supported by the guide Ilda, a person with incomparable intelligence and knowledge!

A peaceful and wonderful tour, we started the day at 7:30 and went by van to an artisanal center in Chinchero, where we had a presentation on artisanal embroidery, then we headed to Moray (stopping at a viewpoint on the way). There we were able to walk around and hear lots of interesting facts from our guide Efrain, who was very friendly and told everything with great enthusiasm. Then we went to a store where we could taste Maras salts and some delicious chocolates. Finally we arrived at the salineras where we could enjoy the view of more than 5,000 salt pools. Then we returned to Cusco at 2pm.
What made the tour different was our guide always answering our questions and telling us interesting facts, and also Clever from Peru Grand Travel who arranged this tour even when we contacted him at the last minute.

The landscapes up to the Salinas are incredible, as is the location. Understanding the formation of salty waters, how the pools are made for the formation of salt and the economic importance that the Salt Mines have for the region is sensational. Everything becomes even more impressive when you discover that the structures were inspired by those of ancient Andean people.

This trip was above my expectations. It was very worth it. Visiting a place that was built in the year 1400 and still preserved was exciting.
