Following this we will make our way to Moray- “the Inca agricultural greenhouse or laboratory” and then you will head to Moray known for its salt mines which have been exploited since pre- Inca times as a means of economic exchange and securities.

You will have time to explore the area, shop for products the locals have made from the salt and even try chicha, a corn made beer that is very important to the Inca's history.
