The Salt Flats of Maras and Moray: A place where you can see a unique world

We took a tour from Cusco and went to the Salt Flats of Maras and Moray. One thing to consider here is that we tried to take a tour that included as much as possible at a low price, but in the end we couldn't go to the places we wanted to see because some people were late in the morning and the roads were crowded during peak season. We rushed through each place we visited and couldn't enjoy it properly, so I think it's important not to be greedy when choosing a tour. There are many companies that offer tours that include the Salt Flats of Maras and Moray, so you need to compare them. We had a Cusco Tourist Pass ticket for 130 soles that allowed us to enter 16 places, but the salt flats were not included, and we paid the foreigner price of 20 soles for the entrance fee. We only looked at the salt flats from above, but we were captivated by the view that we had never seen before. There are apparently 3,000 salt flats, which is overwhelming. Salt water that is six times more concentrated than seawater flows out of the rock surface, and even the locals don't know when it will dry up. To get to the entrance of the salt fields, you have to go through a narrow unpaved road, and tourist buses come and go one after another, so it's safer to leave it to an experienced tour driver than to drive yourself. Also, three types of salt are made here: edible pink salt, flower salt, and medicine salt for bathing. They also sell souvenirs, but the same salt is sold at a low price in the market in Cusco, so there's no need to rush out to buy it. First, enjoy this unique view. The second Moray means terraced agricultural experiment station. It seems that many Andean crops were grown by taking advantage of the temperature changes caused by the steps. There were a lot of people near the gate, so I walked the one-hour course around the whole area, but it was a pleasant walk in just under an hour. This Moray is included in the 130-sol Cusco Tourist Pass, so there was no additional entrance fee. #Cusco
