What a day! Part 2

The scenic drive through the sacred valley is beautiful with the snow cap mountains, and emerald green range. Next stop, Himalayan salt wells. There are 3700 salt wells, owned by the people of the surrounding village. The only mountain to offer salt water is here and these wells have been established since pre Inca days so that's around 1000BC - operating continuously. From here we drove to Moray which is an agriculture wonder. Each ring is a terrace that was used to grow food. Each level has its own microclimate that the Incas used to cultivate different types of fruits, vegetables and plants. All of this was built in the 1400-1500's without anything more than rocks, and chisels. They are so precise and perfect, it's hard to imagine how this is accomplished? It was a hike down and around this place. We then enjoyed a great typical Peruvian lunch.Läs mer
