The second half was as good as the first
Our guides drove us up to Moray, where we walked around.
Then we hopped on the bikes and rode down the hill, though the town of Maras, and to the Salt Mines of Maras. We walked around the evaporation ponds, then cycled a bit further.
We reached the bottom of the hill the same time as a Dutch couple we saw previously in a restaurant. We shared our ride with them (they had walked all the way from Moray) back to Ollanta. Kate and I had dinner (Kate had the Alpaca Brochette and a Pisco Sour, while I had a the local version of a hamburger and a drink dubbed "Machu Picchu"), then we went back to our hostel and crashed.
Here's a set of tracks from Moray to the bottom of the hill. The little loop we did was on foot at the salt mines.

I didn't know people ate alpaca! What are "the evaporation ponds?"
ReplyDeleteThe evaporation ponds are where the salty water is made to sit long enough for the water to evaporate so they can harvest the salt.
