The textile workshops of Chinchero are much more than just shops; they are capsules of Andean time. Each fiber, pattern, and tonality is a living account of their rich heritage, passed down from ancestral times to the present day. Visiting the textile centers of Chinchero is to immerse oneself in Andean history. The textiles are not just products, but narratives woven with threads of tradition, where each color and design tells a thousand-year-old story. Moray was an Inca agricultural research center where experiments with crops were carried out at different altitudes.
The terraces of Moray are concentric circles that created a variety of microclimates, simulating up to 20 different environments. The temperature varied from the center, which was warmer, to the outside, which was colder. It is believed that Moray served as a model for agricultural production in the Urubamba Valley and other parts of the Inca Empire. The terraces of Moray have a complex irrigation system. Moray is a testament to the advanced agricultural technology of the Incas.
The town of Maras is a melting pot of history and culture, where vestiges of three distinct periods coexist: Pre-Hispanic: Elements dating back to the cultures that inhabited the region before the arrival of the Spanish are preserved. Colonial: Its streets and doorways stand out, adorned with coats of arms of the nobility and the local chiefs of the 17th century, a clear reflection of the colonial past. Republican: This town possesses vestiges from the Republican era of Peru.
The Salineras de Maras, a spectacular landscape in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, near Cusco, are a collection of nearly 3,000 salt ponds fed by an ancient underground spring. This place is not only visually stunning but is also an important source of salt for the region and for export.
