We continue to the famous Maras Salt Mines, with more than 3,000 salt ponds in use since Inca times.

The next stop is Urubamba, where we’ll enjoy a buffet lunch. In the afternoon, we explore Ollantaytambo, known as “the last living Inca city,” a place full of history, temples, and terraces that still preserve their original essence.
