Then we go to Maras, from where we can get to the salt mines. The salt mines show a strange spectacle of beauty. Located on an open hill above the Urubamba Valley, a natural saltwater stream runs underground. In pre-Inca times, they have been evaporating the salty water from this stream to get the salt that is left behind.
The highly salty water emerges in a spring, a natural outlet from the underground stream. After visiting the salt mines near Maras, we continue a short distance to the ruins of Moray. The ruins are made up of three coliseums, which are believed to have been used by the Incas as a kind of open-air culture laboratory. The Coliseums consist of several huge terraced circular depressions, the largest of which is approximately 30m / 98ft deep. The purpose of these depressions is still uncertain, but their depth and orientation with respect to the wind and the sun creates a temperature difference of up to 15 ° C between the top and bottom. The Incas possibly used this large temperature difference to study the effects of different climatic conditions on crops.
