TRAVEL AGENCY AND TOURISM OF
ADVENTURES IN MACHU PICCHU - CUSCO- PERU
SALINE
OF MARAS
A
few kilometres before arriving at Urubamba, the road passes a turn-off
for Maras, a small town about 5km from the main road. The town is very
traditional and receives few visitors. Apart from seeing the town, there
are several interesting attractions nearby, including the Salineras de
Maras and the ruins of Moray. These are not easy to reach, however, as
there is no public transport. It is possible to take a taxi from the
turn-off on the Cusco-Urubamba road, although there are often no taxis
nearby. A taxi to both the salineras and Moray will cost around $20. A
taxi from Cusco will cost around $50. There are a few tours from Cusco,
but you may need to ask around a few agencies. Otherwise, a very
pleasant way is by mountain bike. Ecomontana, at Arequipa 242, organises
day-trips to both sites for about $25.
