Maras & Moray Tour  11 Jan 2009 - 20 Dec 2009     $85

Enjoy an optional afternoon tour to Maras and Moray. Visit Maras and the terraced salt-pans of Las Salinas before continuing to discover the unusual Inca ruins of Moray, a large complex of terraced circular depressions in the earth which historians believe were used to study the climatic conditions on crops. As you descend each layer or pit, the surrounding temperature descends as well, degree by degree, making for a unique and highly sophisticated thermographic tool.
