The pink salt mines of Maras are unique throughout South America. They are the oldest continuously operating salt mine in the continent and still maintain the same form of work since the time of the Inca Empire. Certainly a place trapped in time

Moray archeological center is very close to the salt mines of Maras, This was a complex of worship to the gods of the moon (Killa) and the sun (Inti) where special crops of corn and Andean grains were cultivated to give them as an offering to these gods and the priestly caste of the Inca Empire. Spectacular photos await you at Moray, an unmissable place!

The Saqsaywaman fortress watches over the valley where the city of Cusco is located. This archaeological center had the function of protecting the capital of the Inca Empire from any external attacker. It is for this reason that the photos that can be taken from its Andean terraces have no comparison! If you visit Cusco you have to go to Saqsaywaman. Saqsaywaman Fortress is only 15 minutes by taxi from the city of Cusco, it can be completely covered in just one hour and 30 minutes.

The archaeological center of Ollantaytambo was intended for lodging for the Inca nobility, while the terraces were farmed by yanakuna, retainers of the emperor. Its endless terraces are a bit difficult to climb, but the view it offers upon reaching the top has no comparison in the entire Inca Empire! The archaeological center of Ollantaytambo it is usually traveled before taking the train that goes to Machu Picchu.

The Qorikancha palace was the administrative center and residence of the Inca (Inca is the title received by the chief of all the chiefs of the different nations that made up the Inca Empire). It is in the very center of the city of Cusco (you can walk to get there in less than 10 minutes). Qori means gold in Quechua (the language of the Incas) and Kancha means surrounded by, therefore Qorikancha means Surrounded by Gold, this name was given because its walls were clad in pure gold and being in the center of the city of Cusco reflects the sun's rays on its golden walls. This place is one of the jewels of the Inca Empire and is a obligatory places to visit for all the travelers that arrive at Cusco city (as it was customary for travelers to visit the Inca first upon arrival in Cusco in times of the empire)

Machu Picchu was the sanctuary citadel of the Inca Culture. Built so that only a few members of the royal, priestly and warrior castes of the Inca empire could worship the Sun and the Moon in the most sacred of the precincts of the Empire. Access to the sanctuary was a secret even at the time of the Inca Empire and only those chosen by the Inca (the ruler over all the rulers of the Inca empire) could enter for certain periods of time. It is a place that has no comparison anywhere in the world and the main reason why all travelers arrive from different parts to visit Cusco (I recommend you buy the entrance tickets to the sanctuary in advance of your arrival. The transport package (train plus bus) and stay (hotel) in the town of Aguas Calientes (the nearest town before entering the natural and cultural reserve of Machi Picchu) can be acquired upon arrival in the city)
